NEW SYLVA. 
ton in 1800 at the falls of the Potowmak, where 
found by me again, stems 1 or 2 feet high sel- 
dom branched, leaves as large as in C. glome- 
rat us, peduncles, and flowers similar to it, but not 
glomerate quite lax. 
611. Cean. elliptxcus Raf. Shrubby, leaves 
remote elliptical hardly serrulate trinerve ob- 
tuse, beneath puberulent, raceme thyrsoidal 
small on short petiols and bracteated — Ap&la- 
chian Mts. of Georgia and Alabama, Cheroki 
and Wasioto Mts. one or two feet high, leaves 
small on very short petiols, flowers small with 
bracts as in C. glomeratus. 
612. Cean. virgatus Raf. intermedius Mg. 
El. P. N. Shrubby, branches elongate slender 
virgate subangular smooth rusty, leaves broadly 
lanceolate acute subserrate trinerve, nerves and 
petiols pubescent, racemes short corymbose lax 
—from Virginia to Florida, pedal or sesquipe- 
dal, with some long branches at the base, leaves 
small uncial narrow, panicles quite small on 
long peduncles, ’formed by two or 3 small um- 
bels. 
613. Ceanothus ? atropurpxjreus Raf. 
Shrubby, quite smooth, branches terete spread- 
ing rigid dark purple, leaves subsessile oblong 
entire, lower acute, upper obtuse, not innervate, 
tip of petiol and base of main nerve often bear- 
ded— I refer protem to this Genus, a doubtful 
shrub of Florida, found without flowers in Col- 
lins Herb, owing to the similarities of habit 
with the last and next sp. but it may turn out to 
be something very different, perhaps an Ilex? 
or Bumelia ? Leaves just like the last in size, 
but entire or slightly erose, and petiols exceed- 
ingly short.
