HIS genus was constituted by Moench from the Acer negundo of 
Linnseus, and comprises three species, one native of Cochin- 
China, one of California, and the other of Canada and the United 
States. The Dobinea vulgaris, a hardy shrub, native of Nepal, 
with elliptical, oblong, acutely-serrated leaves, belongs to the 
same natural family. No other genus, has hitherto been discov- 
red, or recorded as belonging to the order Aceracge, either of a hardy or tender 
ature.
