62 ADELIA. 



A. MULTIFLORUM Raf. Smooth, multiflore, 

 leaves alterne sessile linear, perianthe acumi- 

 nate. Florida &c. Well described by Nuttal 

 and Elliot. 



ADELIA of Michaux and Brown, not of 

 Linneus, is Borya of Wildenow 1805, and 

 Persoon, not Labillardiere 1804, yet adopted by 

 our botanists; but changed to Bigelowia, by 

 Smith 1820, not of Raf. 1817. What a jum 

 ble of blunders ! yet must be changed again 

 or united to my Nudilus which see. 



ADENARIUM Raf. 1816, Dec. Differs 

 from Arenaria, by having large glands inter- 

 posed between the Stamens and a different ha- 

 bit. Honkenya of Erhart, not of Wildenow. 

 Another genus Adenarca of Kunth since, must 

 also be changed to Decadenium, Raf.

 fruticose, leaves fleshy ovate acute subserrate.-- 

 Europe, Seashore, seen dry. 



2. A. Maritimum Raf. Holosteum succulen-

 nists. Herbaceous dichotome, leaves fleshy o- 

 vate obtuse entire petals obovate Atlantic shores 

 of N. America from New England to New Jer- 

 sey, in sand, flowers white, vernal, terminal and 

 in forks. Seen alive. Nuttal refers to this, the 

 American Holosteum of L. who must have 

 mistaken the glands for trifid petals, but he says 

 leaves elliptic. Figures Autikon. Ic. n. sp. 



ADENOCAULON of Hooker, N. G. near 

 Tussilago, differing by naked seeds without 

 pappus. A. bicolor, stem glandular, leaves cor 

 date subjtrilobe angulate dentate. From Oregon.
