 All the species after 26 are given by Mr Brown 

 under this genus, which he has greatly limited. 

 He still thinks, however, that it contains the ele- 

 ments of several genera, which will afterwards be 

 separated. He supposes that Sp. 7, 20, 27, may 

 form one genus; Sp. 28, 29, 30, 31, another; 

 Sp.32,33, 36, a third; Sp. 34, a fourth ; Sp.35, 

 36, 37, a fifth; and Sp. 38 a sixth. Hia generic 

 character is : "Asclepiadea. Massae poltinis laeves, 

 10, pendulx. Corona iiaminea simplex, 5 20- 

 loba. Cor. subrotata. FoKiculi :lucvcs." Sp. 33 i* 

 the obtusifoliiim of Willd. Sp. 31-, 35, 37, 38, are 

 given by Wjlldenow under A^clepias. Persoou 

 includes under this genus, the subgenera Goxo- 

 LOHIUM and VINCETOXICUM. See ll'ern. Trans.
