MAGNOLIACE^. 



3. MAGNOLIA, (Plum.) L. 



M. glauca, L., p. 60, uote 3. According to iuformation furnished by J. W. Congdon, the 

 Rhode Island specimen mentioned was probably taken from a cultivated plant. The only 

 known indigenous occurrence northeast of Long Island is at Magnolia, Massachusetts, 

 where the species (unfortunately much sought and frequently transplanted for cultivation) 

 is now very rare iu a natural state. 



M. Umbrella, Desk., p. 60. Dr. Small reports the recent discovery of this species on 



Stone Mountain, N. Georgia. 

 M. acuminata, L., p. 61. In the synonymy, for " M. Virginia," le&d, M. Virginiana. 



ANONACE^. 



2. ASlMINA, Adans. Add lit. Nash, Bull. Torr. Club, xxiii. 234-242. 



A. triloba, Dunal, p. 63. Extend range to Kansas, Hitchcock; also to New Jersey and 

 Nebraska, ace. to Small. 

 After -i- -1—, the species may be revised as follows : — 



A. speciosa, Nash, 1. c. 238. Shrub 2 to 5 feet high : branchlets and spatulate-oblong 

 leaves (3 to 6 inches iu length) covered with dense pale or tawny tomentum, which at 

 length becomes thin but does not fully disappear even iu age : peduucles 4 to 8 lines long, 

 racemose upon the wood of the previous year : petals very dissimilar, the outer strongly 

 accrescent, ovate-oblong to obovate, becoming 2 inches in length, fully three times as long 

 as tlie inner. — ^. ,i7ranc?//Zora, Gray, Bot. Gaz. xi. 163, in great part, not Dunal. Uvaria 

 obovata, Torr. & Gray, Fl, i. 4.5, in part. — Sandy soil, S. E. Georgia, Small, ace. to Nash, and 

 E. Florida, Leavenworth, Canby, Donnell- Smith, Curtiss, Miss Pierce. 



A. reticulata, Chapm. This name published with description by Chapman, Fl. ed. 2, 603 

 (1884), should, as it appears, be reinstated for the species which Dr. Gray later called 

 A. ciineata, Shuttl. (Bot. Gaz. xi. 163, 1886). While unfortunate that the A. reticulata, 

 " Shuttl." of Chapman is not the A. reticulata of Shuttl. in herb., the latter was merely a 

 manuscript name until after the former had been duly described and published. 



* * Flowers terminal or solitary in the axils of extant subcoriaceous and reticulate-veiny 



subsessile leaves, produced in spring and early summer, 

 •f- Outer petals, at least when young, ovate, more or less strongly dissimilar to the inner. 



A. grandiflora, Dunal. Shrub 3 to 6 feet high : branchlets, peduncles, calyx, and lower 

 surface of tlie short and rather broad ovate-oblong to obovate firm leaves rufous-puliescent : 

 flowers large, nearly sessile at the ends of short branches: outer petals cream-colored, 

 becoming obovate and 2 J inches long. — Monogr. Anon. 84, t. 11 ; Gray, Bot. Gaz. xi. 163, 

 in part. A. ohornia, Nash, 1. c. 239. Anona granrliflora, Bartr. Trav. (Am. ed.) t. 2. An- 

 nona obovata, Willd. Spec. ii. 1269. Uvaria obovata, Torr. & Gray, Fl. i. 4.5, in part. From 

 their rufous pubescence Orchidocarpum grandiflorum, Michx. Fl. i. 330, and hence Porcella 

 qrnndiflora, Pers., may have been of this species rather than of A. speciosa, as suggested by 

 Nasli. — Pine barrens, Florida, Palmer, Nash, Straub. 



A. angustifolia, Gray, p. 64. Amply characterized. Extends, ace. to Small, as far 

 north as Middle Georgia. 



A. pygmeea, Di-nal, p. 64. In line 2, strike out " oblong," and substitute, oblanceolate. 

 In tlie synonymy strike out references to the uow clearly distinct A. reticulata, Shuttl, (not 

 Chapm.), for which see below.
