On the banks of the river St. Mary, Georgia. Tj . 
July, Aug. v.v. Flowers blush-red, marked with pur- 
ple lines, in large clusters. Each flower has one or the 
divisions of the calyx grown out to a large white leaf, 
tinged with red, which makes this shrub highly orna- 
mental. It is only to be regretted, that it is very shy 
of cultivation. The small difference of its fruit from 
Cinchona only makes it excusable to keep it separate 
from that genus ; but I have no hesitation in saying, 
that if Pinckneya is not united with Cinchona , there 
w ill be some of the latter genus found belonging to 
Pinckneya.
