104. RiiAMNts linnean Genus including many 

 trees and Shrubs totaly unlike, forming 20 Gen- 

 era at least. Zizyphiis and Palhtrus ha\e 

 been generaly adopted, but ¥rangula 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 4fid calix, no petals, 4 sta- 

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

 4sperme. The types are /?. catharticus, in- 



fectorius, dauricus. oleoides and other similar 

 Species, the American J?, cathar Ileus is proba- 

 bly peculiar.
