Known only by Cartis'e epecimena. Inasmuch aa ( 1) the stamenB 
are inserted below and not on the margin of the disc, (2) the ovary 
is inserted on and confluent at its base with the disc, and (3) the in- 
florescence ia cyinose and not racemose or paniculate, this is a Gpnno- 
ajjorto. ratter than a Celastrus^ The scandent liabii, however, ia that of 
Oelastrm, It appears to me a little doubtful whether these two genera 
-ought to be kept distinct. The species of botb are in want of cai'ef ul
