10 FLOR. TELt.. 



ry flowers chiefly, of which many new ones ii* 

 N. Anier. see my flora. I have not yet seen the 

 late monograph of this fienus, by Meisncr, bui 

 it appears ho has kept it entire as yet, only 

 using sub genera as Persoon and Jussieu. 



The Species with colored flowers in panicled 

 racemes, like arttcii(cihim,Jimbriaii{m, divar- 

 icatum, alpimtm^ undidedumy sericfum, &c, 

 must probably be united to Stopinaca but 

 ofier but few essential characters in the flowers. 

 The frutescent P. grandrfIori(m with large 

 axillary flowers is perhaps another G. or sub G. 



402. Fagopvron Tourn diff". 401. Cal. colo- 

 ratus, Stam 8, externis 5 antheris bilobis re- 

 motis, internis 3 brevis sepe sterihs, alterni* 

 cum glandula 3 hypogyna. Sem. ut P. fiores 

 sepe corymhosis vel glomeratis. — This G. cal- 

 led Buckiiiheat in English, is perfectly distinct, 

 and known at first sight, the leaves are com- 

 monly broad and cordate; the types are Fag. 

 cereale (P. fagop.) taUiricum^ chhiense, per- 

 foliatum^ creissif'olium, Slc. If any one may 

 object to the name being rather mongrel, beech 

 (lat) wheat (gr) they may use instead Tracho- 

 jpi/r^/* of Gerard. 



403. Helxine L. first ed. since wrongly re- 

 jected, may be applied to all the species with 

 unequal calix, Difl 401. Cal. colorat ineq. lac. 

 3 major sepe carinatis s. alatis. Sem. in Cal. 

 3alato sepe. Caale sepe scandcns^ fl. racemo- 

 sis — Types, H. tScajtde^is, dametortim, con- 

 volvulus^ niuliljiorum, ciiinode, sagitiahim, 

 4*A and akin with unequal calix. Those with 

 carinated ratiier than winged fiuit, form the G. 

 Fallopia of Adanson, who ascribe to it 9 Sta- 

 mens, if so it is a good Genus; but I only saw 

 8 stamens in H. ^aiHlcns^ as in the others.
