Dr. Swartz’s Description of

From this generical defcription the effential character is 
formed : 
Calyx nullus. 
Cor . Petalum trilobum lateri germinis infidens. 
Anther ce petalo accretae. 
Bacca monofperma. 
This new genus is to be placed in Tetrandria Monogynia 
with fores incompleti , Juperi , next after Ac ana ; and among# 
the Ordines naturales I think it would belt take its place in 
the XLVIII. L next after Vijcum. 
To diftinguifh this fpecies from others, that may be difco- 
vered of the fame genus, I have adopted the nomen triviale of 
Chloranthus inconfpicuus : ' 
Its fpecific defcription is as follows : 
Planta herbacea. 
Caules plures ex radice, femipedales, patentes, fubere&i, 
ramofiufculi, teretes, glabri. 
Ramt oppofiti, patentes, teretes, fhiati, glabri. 
Folia petiolata, decuifata, oppofita, Janceolato-ovata, mar- 
gine ferrata, nervofa, venofa, fubfucculenta, glaberrima,
