ADELXA. 
m 
A. multi flo rum Raf. Smooth, multiflore, 
leaves alterne sessile linear, perianthe acumi- 
nate. Florida &c. Well described by Nuttal 
and Elliot. 
ADELIA of Michaux and Brown, not of 
JLinneus, is Borya of Wildenow 1805, and 
Fersoon, not Labiilardiere 1804, yet adopted by 
our botanists; but changed to Bigelowia , by 
Smith 1820, not of Raf. 1817. What a jum 
ble of blunders ! yet must be changed again 
or united to my Nudilus which see. 
ADENARIUM Raf. 1810, Dec. Differs 
from Arenaria , by having large glands inter- 
posed between the Stamens and a different ha- 
bit. Honkenya of Erhart, not of Wildenow. 
Another genus Adenaria of K until since, must 
also be changed to Decadenium , Raf. 
1. A. peploides, Raf. Arenaria , do. L. Suf- 
fruticose, leaves fleshy ovate acute subserrate.— 
Europe, Sea shore, seen dry. 
2. A. Maritimum Raf. Ilolosteum succulen- 
tum h. Arenaria peploides of Amer. bota- 
nists. Herbaceous dichotome, leaves fleshy o- 
vate obtuse entire petals obovate— Atlantic shores 
of N. America from New England to New Jer- 
sey, in sand, flowers white, vernal, terminal and 
in forks. Seen alive. Nuttal refers to this, the 
American Ilolosteum of L. who must have 
mistaken the glands for trilid petals, but he says 
leaves elliptic. Figures Autikon. Ic. n. sp. 
ADENOCAULON of Hooker, N. G. near 
Tussilago , differing by naked seeds without 
pappus. A. hicolor , stem glandular, leaves cor 
date subtrilobe angulate dentate. From Oregon.
