AND GENERA OF PLANTS. 269 



*EUBOTRYS. (Andromeda, Linn.) 



Calyx five-parted, bibracteolate at base. Corolla cylindric subovate, the border 

 five-toothed, reflected. Stamens ten, filaments lanceolate, flat and smooth, 

 about the length of the anthers; anthers bifid, the summit four-awned. 

 Style filiform. Stigma truncate, subcapitate. Capsule five-celled, five- 

 ■ valved, depressed-globose, dissepiment medial. Seeds minute, numerous, an- 

 o-ular and flatly compressed. — Deciduous leaved shrubs of the United States, 

 with the flov^ers in secund, cauline, or axillary simple racemes. Flowers 

 white. (The name alludes to the remarkable racemose inflorescence.) 

 Somewhat allied to ZenoUa, but very different in habit, and inflorescence : 

 the seeds also minute and flat, while in Zenobia they are rather large, 

 roundish and angular. 



EuBOTRYS racemosa; nearly smooth; leaves oblong, acute or acuminate ser- 

 rulate- racemes elongated lateral; bractes none, or deciduous. Andromeda 

 racemosa, Linn. Lyonia racemosa, Don. 11. cc. Zenohia racemosa, Decand. 



7. p. 598. 



Hab. From Canada to Georgia. Divisions of the calyx lanceolate, acute, the base subtended 

 by two similar bracteoles. Flowers white. 



EuBOTRYS ^hracteata; smooth leaves, oblong-lanceolate, coriaceous, acute, 

 serrulate; racemes axillar and terminal, bracteate; bractes linear. 



Hab. East Florida, (Mr. Ware.) A very imperfect specimen, not advanced to flowering. The 

 leaves thick and rigid. 



PHYLLODOCE. (Salisbury.) 



Phyllodoce Grahamii, Menziesia Grahamii. Hooker, Flor. Bor. Amer. 2. 

 p, 40. M. empetriformis, Grah. in Bot. Mag. t. 3]76. 



Hab. Near the summit of the central range of the Rocky Mountains in Thornberg's ravine. 

 Many specimens differ in the paucity of flowers, there being only three or four together; the 

 peduncles are also somewhat glandularly pubescent. The corolla is campanulate and pale red. 

 The general aspect and size is that of P. laxifolia, but the flowers are smaller. 



Menziesia. ferruginea. 



Hab. Around Fort George, near the estuary of the Oregon.
