Fifty species of this genus have been distinguished in 
Systema Naturale Regni Vegetabilis of Monsieur Decan- 
dolle. They belong to the northern hemisphere, and are 
common to the old and new continents; six of the species 
only, however, falling to the share of America. 
The present is the hybridum of the Linnean and Banksian 
Herbariums, but not of the works of Willdenow or Marschal
