UNNA, in Geography, a river which rifes in Bofnia, on 

 the borders of Croatia ; 28 miles S. of Bihacs, and runs 

 iito the Save, 16 miles N.W. of Gradifca. — Alfo, a town 

 of Germany, in the county of Mark. This place is in rank 

 the fecond town of the caunty, and hcs in a fine plain, on a 

 rivulet named the Kottelbecke. It has a Lutheran parilh- 

 church, and a hofpital church, which the Calvinifts ufe for 

 their worfhip, but in which alfo on Saturdays wor(hip is 

 performed by a Lutheran preacher ; as alfo a nunnery, to- 

 gether with a chapel, and a Lutheran fchool. This town 

 is pofleffed of a very extenfive and profitable territory. 

 Formerly it conftituted one of the Hanfe towns. So early 

 as the year 1032, Unna was a confiderable village, and, to- 

 gether with its extent of territory, belonged to the arch- 

 bifhop of Cologn. In the year 1250, it was environed 

 with walls, and endowed with the immunities of a town ;

UNONA, in Botany, a name evidently contrived to pre- 

 Icrve an analogy with Annona, to which the genus which 

 bears it is nearly related. Perhaps Linnseus had in view the 

 union of the ilamens with the germen, in the formation of 

 this name — Linn. Suppl. 44. Schreb. Gen. 375, 834.

Gen. Ch. Cal. Perianth inferior, of three fmall, acute, 

 dofe-prcffed leaves. Cor. Petals fix, lanceolate, felTile, 

 j:;ihboas at the bafe externally; and concave at thefame part 



within. Stam. Filaments none ; anthers nnumerable, ob- 

 long, collefted into a denfe ball, within the hollow of the 

 bafe of the corolla. Pi/l. Germens feveral, clofely covered by 

 the anthers ; ftyles about ten, briftle-lhaped, crowded, rather 

 longer than the anthers ; ftigmas .... Peric Berries fe- 

 veral, (talked, ovate, gibbous, compofing a fpreading umbel. 

 Seeds two, one above the other, ovate, very fmooth, abrupt 

 at the bafe. 



Elf. Ch. Calyx three-leaved. Petals fix. Berries feveral, 

 (talked, each with two feeds. 



Obf. Linnasus fuggefts that this genus ought to be re- 

 ferred to Gynandria, and he has led the writer of the prefent 

 article into the fame miftake, concerning Nymphsa, in Prodr. 

 FI. Graec. v. i. 360, correfted in v. 2. 359, of the fame 

 work. We are now convinced, that no genus can be fafely 

 termed gynandrous, except the (lamens are inferted into the 

 piftil above the germen. Unona is clofely connected in cha- 

 rafter and habit with Uvaria, and perhaps ought to be 

 united therewith. Willdenow has referred hither two fpe- 

 cies of Defmos of Loureiro, and Uvaria zey/aniea of Au- 

 blet ; but having no original information relative to thefe 

 three plants, we prefer retaining the Linnaean Unona by 

 itfelf. 



I. U. dlfcreta. Linn. Suppl. 270. — Gathered by Dahl- 

 berg in Surinam, where it is called Peyrieoboom. This is a 

 tree with (lender, flexible, round, alternate branches, clothed

 beneath. Floiuers axillary, fohtary, on (hort ftalks. Pe- 

 tals externally filky. Fruit the fize of a large pea. In a

UNST, is the moft northern of the Shetland ides, and 

 the moft northern territory of the Britifn empire, being 

 fituated in the latitude of 61°. Its form is of an irregular 

 oblong fquare, extending in length about ten miles, and in 

 breadth from two to four. In comparifon with the other 

 Shetland ifles, Unft may be confidered level, yet its fur- 

 face is diverfified by feveral extenfive ridges of hills ; the 

 moft remarkable are, Vallafield, which rifes to the height 

 of 600 feet, and Saxaforth, elevated 700 feet above the 

 level of the fea. The ifland is not interfered by rivers, but 

 contains feveral frefh-water lakes ; loch Cliff, the largeft, is 

 two miles long, and .about half a mile in breadth. The fea- 

 fliores are remarkably indented with bays and creeks, having 

 many fmall iflands and pafture holmes fcattered around. 

 Along the coaft arc feveral natural caves, of confiderable
