105. ALATERNUS T. Ad. cal. 5fido, petalis 

 5planis, stam. 5, stylis 3 vel. st. 3fido, Bacca 

 Slocul. Ssperma. There are doubts on this G. 

 as to characters and sp, Linheus and Smith 

 ascribed to J?. alaternus a single style but 3 

 stigmas, many sp. have been blended in the 

 type, which I shall now distinguish as they have 

 partly been by Miller,Rozier, Duhamel,Tschou- 

 di &c, all have evergreen leaves and axillary 

 racemes. 



106. Alaternus ovatus Raf. Inermis,* foL 

 ovatis crenatis. South of Europe ; probably 

 the var. \at ifolius of Persoon &c. 



107. Alaternus lanceolatus Raf. subspinosus, 

 feJ. lanceol. serratis, This appears the real 

 Rh. alaternus of L. who ascribes to it gemi- 

 nate deciduous spines, pyramidal small tree of 

 South Europe. 



108. Alaternus integrifolius Raf. Inermis, 

 fol. ovatolanceol, integris. Spain, large leaves. 



109. Alat. balearicas Raf. Rhamnus do Duh.

110. Alat. cordatus Jlaf. fol. remotis subcor- 

 datis serratis. Italy, I have seen all these alive. 

 What other Sp. belong here must be ascertain- 

 ed ; the Rh. spherospermus is stated to have a 

 trifid style, and 1 to 3 seeds in the berry ; Rh. 

 hybridus is certainly an Alaternus. Also Rh. 

 glandulosus, pumilus and prinoides auct.
