Nearly all the genera of this list, with the exception of those 
formed from Gentiana, are admitted by botanists, although most- 
ly under different names.*. In the next paragraph, Rafinesque

_.* Adlumia, adopted by De Candolle, is doubtless a good genus. Cucularia had 
been long anticipated by Borkhausen, under the name of Dielytra ot Dicentra. 
Calistachya, Raf. is of later date than Callistachys of Ventenat ; Leptandra, el 
= the next in order of publication, but the genus is not considered a good one. Di- 
arina is adopted with achange in the orthography. Kampmania is typical Zanthor- 
ylum, that genus having been founded upon the Sout pecies, as a distinguished 
botanist has recently informed us. Negundium, or Negundo, was proposed by 
Meench. Jacksonia, Rafinesque changed in 1819 to Polanisia, probably on 
genera founded upon Gentiana, are of no account. Persea was founded by Gert 
ia. Hicoria, or Hicorius, was ten years later 
rya by Nuttall. Wleckia is the recent Lophanthus of Bentham. 
Coptis of Salisbury. — Platonia, (which Rafinesque afierwards changed to 2@ 
nia,) = Zapania of Jussieu, &c. = Lippia, Linn. Turpinia forms a good genus 4 
section ; but the name being pre-occupied, the author changed it to Lob ae 
Desvaux to Schmalzia. Unisema may be well distinguished from the other spec"
