Amyris *Floridana5 foliis ternatis, foliolis ovatis integerri- 

 mis obtusis glabris, floribus subpaniculatis, baccis subglobo- 

 ri=3 basi attenuatis. 



Observations. — A shrub six or eight feet high with a 

 snf^oothish pale bark. Leaves ternate, petiolate, lucid and 

 apparently sempervirent, reticulately nerved on either side, 

 and crowded with fragrant resinous glands. Calix four- 

 toothed, (corolla not seen.) Berries black, about the mag- 

 nitude of black pepper, and very fragrant, containing a thin 

 fragile nut inclosing a single seed with a greenish pulp. It 

 is perhaps scarcely distinct from A. maritima, and in every 

 respect but the pinnated leaves, like Sloane^s figure, vol. 1. 

 t. 199. of Terebinthus major. We should also take it to 

 be the Amyris, figured by Catesby, but for the perfect 

 smoothness of the leaves.
