633 revised it and separated by the unilocular 
berry, reducing to Sarcocidia the Genera Phy- 
tolaca, Raxamaris, Schefferia &, c, and to Ri- 
vi nidi a the pretended Chenopodea with a ber- 
ry. — The Empetrides are more akin to those 
than to Euphorbides and Celastridqs, and are 
quite unlike to Conifera. The genera belong- 
ing thereto are Grubbia, Coilosperma, Batis, 
Ceratiola &c besides the types Empetrum and 
Colema . . . but the Genera Skimmia, Nandi- 
na, Melicytus & c are very near also. The 
whole requires a careful revision. 
594. COLEMA Don 1826. Euleucum Raf. 
1886 fl. tel. Dioical, calix 5-6parted, stamens 
3 to 4, style 3-4parted, berry 8-41ocular, 3-4 
sperm- Evergreen shrubs , habit of heaths , 
flowers terminal and axillary glomerate — 
This had been based on the Empetrum album 
of L. but our sp. may be of quite a different 
Genus, the real Colema having the ternary part 
constant, no style but 3 stigma, a berry nearly 
monolocular when ripe. Therefore it must 
form the ^ubgenus Euleuca , and our sp. with 
heterogonal parts and stamens, a style, and pro- 
bably a 41ocular berry must form a subgenus 
Endammia Raf. if not a Genus, meaning in 
sands.

ericoides Raf. Empetrum conradi, Torrey 1 835. 
Cespitose procumbent smooth. leaves subverti- 
cil late and alternate, narrow linear acute glan- 
dular, margin revolute, flowers glomerate and 
capitate — in the sandy tracts among the Pine 
woods of New Jersey, first noticed by Kin in 
1800, who gave it to me as an American heath 
in 1802, found by me in 1804 near Pemberton, 
long before Conrad, and twice again in 1833 at
