GENERIC CHARACTER } sak dos. 
SPECIFIC CHARACTER ` 
In a genus of plants like the present, abounding. in noble trees and handsome shrubs, airy and 
elegant in their foliage, and bedecked with specious inflorescence, the ms etu of bestowing a 
name, denoting superlative beauty upon any individual species, may be somewhat questi estionable. What- 
to distinguish it; and though there 
may be other species equally meriting admiration and distinction, there is none more worthy of 
ranking amongst the fairest ornaments of the tribe.
