NEW SYLVA 
feet high, with large leaves, and few small flow- 
ers, often axillary. On the Oquago Mts. of 
New York, north end of Alleghanies, it blos- 
soms late in August. 
530. Diervilla parvi folia Raf. stem or 
branches decumbent, leaves with short petiols, 
uncial, ovate acuminate serrulate, lower round- 
ed, fl. terminal subsessile 1 to 3 — in the Mts. 
Alleghany, leaves seldom over one inch long. 
The real 1). canadensis is a shrub of 5 to 10 
feet high with ovate leaves, and trichotome co- 
rymbs of flowers. I noticed in this sp. or de- 
viation a very long style with a large stigma 
like the head of an Amanita, convex above, 
concave beneath. 
531. Safindus acuminata Raf. S. saponaria 
Elliot and North Am. bot. not Lin. and Antil- 
les ! Leaves with 8 or 9 pairs of folioles alter- 
nate lanceolate acuminate obliqual entire, pe- 
tiols simple striate, caiix with 2 larger sepals, 
4 to 6 petals lanceolate base hairy — in Florida, 
Carolina, Alabama 4*c, seen alive in Bartram’s 
garden : wrongly mistaken for the Antillian sp. 
which is very different by winged petiol. A 
tree 20 to 30 feet high, pistil trigone, 3 united 
styles, 3 obtuse stigmas, 3 united capsules ven- 
tricose monosperm. The 8. marginata of 
Wild, and Dec, found also in Florida and 
Georgia and the 8. saponaria of Mx. differs by 6 
pairs of folioles not acuminate, and half wing- 
ed petiols as in real 8 . saponaria . I have both 
our compilers call them both by that old name. 
Genus VISCUM. 
532. Viscum serotinum Raf. purpur. and 
verticil, of some bot. stem thick terete ru- 
gose 2-3chotome geniculate, leaves oppo- 
site evergreen subpetiolate, obovate ob- 
tuse hardly uninerve thick ; flowers trifid
