DIOECIA tetrandria.

I. Angustifolia var. Ligustrifolia, Pursh, 2. p. 118. 
A shrub 6—10 feet high, like the rest of the genus Stoloniferous, bran- 
ches expanding. Leaves acute, rigid, coriaceous, perennial. Fruit scatter- 
ed, solitary. 
This shrub has been to me very rare. I have only seen it once, and then 
in fruit. Its leaves are as long as those of the I. Dahoon, but not half as 
wide; entire, very acute, but not mucronate. It is the I. Angustifolia of 
Muhl. Cat.; but this name has been applied to the next species, and to avoid 
confusion I have restored to this plant the name under which I understand it 
was cultivated in the garden of the late William Hamilton of the Wood- 
lands, Philadelphia. 
Found in fruit in the little Ogeechee Swamp at Preston’s Old Field, about 
12 miles from Savannah.

A shrub, or rather a small irregular tree, with branches expanding, rigid, 
pubescent when very young. Leaves alternate, perennial, sometimes entire, 
occasionally with 2 or 3 sharp serratures. Petioles 1 — 2 lines long, pube- 
scent. Peduncles of the sterile flowers compoundly triflorous. Segments 
of the calyx as long as the tube, acute, erect. Corolla white. Segments 
oval. Anthers nearly white. (Fertile flowers axillary, solitary. Mich.) 
Grows around ponds in flat pine-barrens. 
Flowers in May. 
Leaves linear-lance- 
date, mucronate, rigid, 
very glabrous; fertile 
flowers solitary.
