MAGNOLIACE^. 



3. MAGNOLIA, (Plum.) L. 



M. glaiica, L., p. 60, uote 3. Accordiug to iufornuvtion furnished by J. W. Congdon, the 

 Hliode Ijilaud specimen mentioned was probably taken from a cultivated plant. The only 

 known indigenous occurrence northeast of Long Island is at Magnolia, Massachusetts, 

 where the species (unfortunately much sought and frequently transplanted for cultivation) 

 is now very rare in a natural state. 



M. Umbrella, Desk., p. 60. Dr. Small reports the recent discovery of this species on 

 Stone Mountain, N. Georgia. 



TiS.. acuminata, L., p. 61. In the synonymy, for " J/, Vir rjini a, " lend, M. Virginiana. 



ANONACEiE. 



2. ASlMINA, Adans. Add lit. Nash, Bull. Torr. Club, xxiii. 234-242. 



A. triloba, Dcnal, p. 63. Extend range to Kansas, Hitchcock ; also to New Jersey and 

 Nebraska, ace. to Small. 

 After -1- -»-, the species may be revised as follows : — 



A. speciosa, Nash, 1. c. 238. Shrub 2 to 5 feet high : branchlets and spatulate-oblong 

 leaves (3 to 6 inches in length) covered with dense pale or tawny tomentum, which at 

 length becomes thin but does not fully disappear even in age : peduncles 4 to 8 lines long, 

 racemose upon the wood of the previous year: petals very dissimilar, the outer strongly 

 accrescent, ovate-oblong to obovate, becoming 2 inches in length, fully three times as long 

 as the inner. — ^. (/randZ/Zora, Gray, Bot. Gaz. xi. 163, in great part, not Dunal. Uvaria 

 obovata, Torr. & Gray, Fl. i. 45, in part. — Sandy soil, S. E. Georgia, 5»(o//, ace. to Nash, and 

 E. Florida, Leavenworth, Canby, Donnell- Smith, Curtiss, Miss Pierce. 



A. reticulata, Chapm. This name published with description by Chapman, Fl. ed. 2, 603 

 (1884), should, as it appears, be reinstated for the species which Dr. Gray later called 

 A. cuneala, Shuttl. (Bot. Gaz. xi. 163, 1886). While unfortunate that the A. reticulata, 

 " Shuttl." of Chapman is not the A. reticulata of Shuttl. in herb., the latter was merely a 

 manuscript name until after the former had been duly described and published. 

 * * Flowers terminal or solitary in the axils of extant subcoriaceous and reticulate-veiny 



subse-ssile leaves, produced in spring and early summer. 

 ••- Outer petals, at least when young, ovate, more or less strongly dissimilar to the inner. 



A. grandiflora, Dunal. Shrub 3 to 6 feet high : branchlets, peduncles, calyx, and lower 

 surface of the short and rather broad ovate-oblong to obovate firm leaves rufous-pubescent : 

 flowers large, nearly sessile at the ends of short branches: outer petals cream-colored, 

 becoming obovate and 2^ inches long. — Monogr. Anon. 84, t. 11 ; Gray, Bot. Gaz. xi. 163, 

 in part. A. ohnmia, Nash, 1. c. 239. Ano7ia grandi flora, Bartr. Trav. (Am. ed.) t. 2. An- 

 nona obovata, Willd. Spec. ii. 1269. Uvaria ohomta, Torr. & Gray, Fl. i. 45, in part. From 

 their rufous pubescence Orchidocarpum grandiflorum, Miciix. Fl. i. 330, and hence Porcelia 

 grandl flora, Pers., may have been of this species rather than of A. speciosa, as suggested by 

 Nash. — Pine barrens, Florida, Palmer, Nash, Straub. 



A. angustifolia, Gray, p. 64. Amply characterized. Extends, ace. to Small, as far 

 north as Middle Georgia. 



A. pygmsea, Dinal, p. 64. Tn line 2, strike out " oblong," and substitute, oblanceolate. 

 In the synonymv .strike out references to the now clearly distinct A. reticulata, Shuttl. (not 

 Chapm.), for which see below.
