In hedges and woods : Carolina to Florida. \ . June, 
July. v. v. Flowers very small, greenish-white ; 
berries red. I venture to take Cissampelos smilacina 
as a synonym, although Jacquin’s figure deviates in 
character very much from the present genus j but as 
I have had the opportunity of seeing the Menispermum 
of the above authors frequently in flower, I am con- 
vinced that all the above synonyma are correct : the 
number of stamina being variable, brings the ge- 
nus so near to Menispermum , that I should not have 
taken it from it, if it were not on the authority of 
Willdenow.
