PHYSIOLOGY OF THE RED MANGROVE. 605 



Jussieu, 1789,^^ used the system of Tournefort, but modified it 

 by adding the new idea of classification which he promulgated by 

 basing it on the positions of stamens and pistils. He placed Rhizo- 

 phora in class XIII. of his fifteen classes. He also recognized but 

 two species — R. mangle and R. gymnorhisa with R. caseolaris as 

 doubtful. 



Sarigny, 1796,^' in Lamarck's Encyclopedia gives a good and 

 accurate account of the family of paletuviers, but recognizes the 

 Linnaeus species. 



Lamarck, 1804,^^ also recognized the Linnjean species and gives 

 five with R. miicronata as a new species. The old R. corniculata 

 of Linnaeus having now been renamed by Gaertner, ^giceras ma jus 

 and others discarded so that the Linnsean genus has now been to 

 this extent reorganized. The five species of Lamarck are R. mangle, 

 miicronata, cylindrica, conjugata and candel. 



St. Hilaire, 1805,^^ follows the nomenclature of Linnaeus, Jus- 

 sieu and Lamarck and for R. mangle gives the range as both the 

 Indies. It remained for De Candolle to complete the Natural^ Sys- 

 tem of Classification and in his Theorie Elementaire de la Bo- 

 tanique, 1813,*° laid the basis of our modern system. Rhizophora, 

 in his " System," is put in Order 57 ]\Iyrtineae. In the " Pro- 

 dromus," 1828,'*^ for the Rhizophoreae he gives four genera, Olisbe, 

 Rhisophora, Carallia and Cassipourea, containing in all 14 species. 

 He also treats the old East Indian species of other authors and not 

 synonyms with R. mangle of the West Indies. 



Velozo, 1827,*- uses the same nomenclature as Linnaeus, but 

 shows an excellent representation of the plant and especially the 

 lenticels on the hypocotyls. The dissection of this organ is also 

 admirably figured.
