*I am of the opinion that the treatment of the groups included by Asa Gray in 
Andromeda, is not as satisfactory as that of Bentham and Hooker, where Andromeda 
S restricted to 4, Polifolia, L., and Lyonia, Nutt, Pieris, Don and Zenobia Don 
Fecognized as genera. In Amer. Month. Mag. iv. 193 (1819) Rafinesque suggests 
the name Xolisma for the Lyonia, Nutt., a homonym of his own Zyonia of 1808, 
but he neither defines it nor cites species. In order to maintain this "€ er 
H 
cite the Synonyms of this species.
