The Cayenne pepper of commerce is manufactured. It 

 appears to be perfectly distinct from the capsicum minus, 

 fructu parvo pyramidali erecto," of Sloane t. 146. fig. 2. 

 which appears also to afford the Cayenne pepper. 



Psychotria * lanceolata, stipulis ampkxicaulibus subro- 

 tundis deciduis ; foliis lanceolatis utrinque acaminaiis, sub- 

 tus pubescentibus ; pedunculis trichotomis paucifloris. 



Observations. — Stem shrubby ; the younger branches, 

 and under side of the leaves, more particularly when young, 

 as well as the peduncles, clothed with a ferruginous pubes- 

 cen( e. Leaves opposite, two to three inches long, and about 

 an inch wide, prominently and somewhat verticulately vein- 

 ed. Stipules sphacelous, brownish, and deciduous. Flow- 

 ers not seen. Peduncles mostly terminal, one to two inches 

 long, trichotomal and few flowered. Berries red, ovate ; 

 nuts two, externally convex and grooved. One of the spe- 

 cimens is perfectly smooth and produces smaller leaves, but 

 in other respects appears the same.

 tin. Syst. Veg. 443. 



Sabbatia paniculata. Pursh.

Caprifolium sempervirens. Mich. 1 p. 105. 



Vitis rotundifolia. Mich. 



V, palmata ? Persoon. 1 p. 252. This plant, however, 

 scarcely appears to be more than a variety of V. astivalis, 

 and instead of being smooth, is tomentose. 



Itea virginica. Mich. 1 p. 157. 



Cyrilla * paniculata, foliis coriaceis cuneato-oblongis ob- 

 l,usis, floribus paniculatis. 



Observations. — Nearly allied to C. antillana of Mi- 

 chaux, but the flowers are distinctly paniculated. The 

 leaves are sometimes apparently oblong-lanceolate. The 

 petals are oblong and spotted or blotched. 



Plurubago *^onWana, herbacea .^ e recta ; foliis petiola- 

 tis ovatis glabris, caule oequali.
