ENNEANDRIA. 321 



Africa, but not known in America ; and the fragrant 

 Daphne, t, 1381, ofwhich last the Levant possesses 

 many charming species. Ace7\ the Maple, is re- 

 moved hither in FL Brit, from the twenty-third 

 Class. 



2. Digy7iia has a few plants, but little known ; among 

 them are Galenia africana, and Moehringia mus- 

 cosa. 



3. Trigiinia. Polj/gomim, t. 436, 509, 941, is a genus 

 whose species differ in the number of their stamens 

 and styles, and yet none can be more natural. 

 Here therefore the Linnasan system claims our in- 

 dulgence. PaulUnia and Cardiospermum are more 

 constant. 



4. Tetragynia, Here we find the curious Paris, t. 7, 

 and Ado.va, t. 453. Of the former I have lately 

 received a nev/ species, gathered by my liberal friend 

 Buchanan among the mountains of Nepaul. 



Class 9. Enneandria. Stamens 9. Orders 3. 



1. Monogijnia* Of this the precious genus LauruSy 

 including the Cinnamon, Bay, Sassafras, Camphor, 

 and many other noble plants, is an example. 



2. Trigynia has only Rheum, the Rhubarb, nearly 

 related to Rume.v. 



3. Hexagynia. Butomusumbdllatus, Engl. Bot. t.65], 

 a great ornament to our rivers and pools.
