NEW SYLYA 
Genera, I have proved in flora tellur, how dif- 
ferent is Gardoquia. It is one of the Genera 
to which I give my own name, and if any one 
cavils at it I offer a second abridged from 
Diodoniocheilis ! that 1 may not lose the mer- 
it of my sagacity in ascertaining this Genus. 
I have already two sp. of it. 
■ 601. Rafinesquia coccinea fl. tell. 751. 
Cunila ! do Hooker, Melissa! do Spr. Gardo- 
quia ! hookeri Benth. Don. Lindl. b. reg. 1747. 
Shrubby smooth, leaves obovate sessile suba- 
cute, peduncles axillary l-3flore — A small 
shrub of Florida with handsome large scarlet 
flowers, branches terete sub 4 angular, leaves 
commonly remote small. 
602. Raf. coccinea var. obtusifolia Raf. 
differ, branches more 4angular, leaves equal to 
internodes obtuse one third inch long, flowers 
scarlet over one inch long. 
603. Rafinesquia angustifolia Raf. suflf- 
ruticose, branches filiform hardly angular, leaves 
sessile smooth oblong or cuneate obtuse crow- 
ded above, peduncles very short uniflore — in 
Alabama, smaller shrub still with narrow 
leaves and smaller flowers rather red than scar- 
let. Given me as a var. of R. coccinea by Du- 
rand ; it is very near Gardoquia chilensis in 
habit, but quite unlike in the calix and flowers. 
604. PILOBLEPHIS Raf. Satureia and 
Cephalothymus Benth. Quite a peculiar G. 
discovered by Bartram 60 years ago, unnoticed 
by all our botanists, altho’ in their herbals ! un- 
til Bentham found it in Banks Herbarium, but 
he left it with Satureia as a subg. with an im- 
proper name, mine means ciliated head . It 
differs as much from Satureia as Pycnanthes 
does, both by characters and habit. Shrub
