* I have been oblig-cd to exclude as synonyms to B. salici- 

 folia the Cornus L 75. of Catesby, and Jacquin's Sidcroxylum 

 Mastichodendron, which are unadvisedly admitted by Willdenow. 

 Brown describes the berries of his Achras 201. L U, f, 4. 

 which is the B. salicifolia of Willdenow, as ''black, smooth, 

 and very small/' Catesby and Jacquin reprei^ent the fruit of 

 their tree as yellow, *<andof the size of a nutmeg*." It is, 

 therefore, impossible that their tree should be identical with 

 Browne's. Swartz says nothing of the colour of the fruit of 

 B, salicifolia, but simply, '' drupa parva, oblonga, e.\lus succosa, 

 sacpe disperma." The synonyms in question have been removed 

 to Sideroxylon Mastichodendron of Spreng^cl's Systema.to which 

 they seem unequivocally to belong;.
