3gono. stylis 3, caps 3valvis subuniloc. axil, et 

 term — I established this fine G. long ago for 

 the Hyper. Virginicum, to which must be ad- 

 ded several blended or new species of North 

 America, improperly united to Elodea of A- 

 danson. 8ee in my new flora Tr. virginicum. 



731. Elodes Ad. Raf. diff. 730 Fetalis 5 

 basi squamulis ut 729, stam. 9-12-15 basi coa- 

 litis, apice in .3-5phalangesdivisis, glandnlis in- 

 terpositis nulli — This G. is thus between the 

 two last, the types are E. iiihulosa., ijetiolata. 

 Sec ; the Elodea of the actual botanists, in- 

 cludes all these 3 genera. 



732. Sarotiira Raf, 1808 non L. ad Hype- 

 ricum vel Tridesma diff. stam. paucis 5-12 li- 

 beris vel vix coalitis, stylis 3, capsula 3valvis 

 unilocularis, valvis seminiferis — The Linnean 

 Sarothra was united to Hypericum ; but many 

 sp, having few stamens, uniloc. capsules, and 

 commonly small flowers and leaves, required to 

 form a G. including many sp. S. fastigiata, 

 pauciflora, trinervia, canadensis, parviflora, 

 &c, Choisy in his Monograph of this family in 

 1821, as well as Decandole] since, have yet 

 united this to Hypericum. 



733. Hypericum Raf. I confine this G. to 

 the first section of L. et Dec. with 5 styles, 5 

 phalanges, caps. 5locular. many sp. I shall re- 

 turn on the fine family of Hypericines, but will 

 now give the main distinctions of my Genera of 

 1815 before Choisy, to which I shall add 4 

 others hereafter.
