448 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
Motrna’s Peumus' (Boldu) he indicated as an ally of Rudentia and 
Hleodendron orientale Jaca. After Jussizu, R. Brown,’ making a 
special study of the Australian Zawracee, established the two genera 
Endiandra and Cryptocarya. Buivumx' also recognised the two new 
genera, Haasia and Caryodaphne, in his study of the Javanese 
Lauracee. Cuamisso and Dr ScHLECHTENDAL, too, had just observed‘ 
among the Mexican species the curious type Misanteca, with pseudo- 
capitulate flowers, when Nzxzs von Hsznsecx published his special 
researches on this important order. 
In 1836, after several preparatory publications,’ he put forth his 
Systema Laurinarum.’ Therein he divides Lauracee into thirteen 
tribes,’ and creates twenty-eight new genera, under the following 
names: Phebe, Apollonias, Alseodaphne, Hufelandia, Beilschmiedia, 
Cecidodaphne, Mespilodaphne, Aydendron, Evonymodaphne, Acrods- 
chdium, Dicypellium, Petalanthera, Pleurothyrium, Teleiandra, Lepto- 
daphne, Gappertia, Oreodaphne, Strychnodaphne, Camphoromea, Gym- 
nobalanus, Sassafras, Benzoin, Cylicodaphne, Polyadenia, Lepidadenia, 
Dodecadenia, Actinodaphne, Daphnidium ; and referred to this order, 
or established as genera, the types formerly confounded with Zaurus, 
such as Cinnamomum of Burmann,’ Camphora of Bauutn,® Persea of 
Gartner,” Machilus of Rumputus," Nectandra of Rouanper,” Tetran- 
thera of Jacquin,” and Litsea of Jusstrv.* The genera® composing 
this order, taking into account those that did double service, then 
amounted to thirty-four in number. Since the time of Neus only a 
dozen genera have been added to the Lauracee proper. Buume, in 
1850," proposed Dictyodaphne and Notaphebe. The three genera 
Symphysodaphne, Silvia, and Nesodaphne had just been formed by A. 
Ricuarp, AtLEMAO, and J. Hooker, when Mutssnzr, in 1864, re- 
are as yet known, cannot be certainly referred 
to any of the Lauwracee more distinctly described 
by authors.
