CENTURIA II. 



101. ACMOSTIMA R. (hook stig.) diff. Pavetta, 

 cal. camp. 5dent. cor. hypocrat. limbo 5fido, 

 stam, 5, antheris longis, stylo filif. stigma hama- 

 tum. caps, 21oba 2sp Quite distinct from the 

 G. Pavetta of Rheede adopted by L. but same 

 family, two types. 



102. Acm. longifolium Raf. Pav. barbata Sm. 

 auct. Fol. obi. glabris pedalis, fl. panic, dichot. 

 tubo corolla brevis intus barbato Shrub of 

 Polynesia with flowers white very fragrant, 

 leaves one foot long, 2 inches wide. 



103. Acm. bremfolia R. Pav. pentandra Sw. 

 auct FoL ellipt. acuro, brevis, fl. panic. 3chot. 

 axil, tubo cor. longior imberbis Shrub of An- 

 tilles called Wild Coflee, flowers as in last. If 

 the capsule is baccate, this with smooth tube 

 might form a G, or subg. Osmax, the real Pa- 

 vettas have a berry, corolla infund, 4fid, 4 sta- 

 mens &c. 



104. RHAMNUS linnean Genus including many 

 trees and Shrubs totaly unlike, forming 20 Gen- 

 era at least. Zizyphus and Paliurus ha\e 

 been generaly adopted, but Frangula and Ala- 

 ternus of Tournefort and Adanson less so,while 

 the 8 Genera of Necker out of Rhamnus have 

 been neglected or not referred except Berche- 

 mia. The whole requires yet a total revision 

 as to G, and Sp. which I can only attempt here 

 in part, proposing Genera. The real Rham- 

 nus is dioical, has a 4fi'd calix, no petals, 4 sta- 

 mens, 1 style, stigma 4fid. and a berry bilocular 

 4sperme. The types are /?. c'atliarticus, in- 

 fectorius, dauricus. oleoides and other similar 



Species, the American If. catharticus is proba- 

 bly peculiar.
