NOTICE.

This Synoptical Mantissa being a Supple-
ment to all the works on Dendrology and Xylo-
gy, as well as to my own : those New G. and Sp.
of Trees and Shrubs already described by my-
self in my various works and Floras, above all
my two late Flora Telluriana and Flora of
North America, as well as my Medical
Flora of the United States, will seldom be no-
ticed or repeated here.

The whole of the New Genera of such Trees;
will be duly reduced to their natural orders, and
a Table formed of them: so as to present at
once a view of the generic additions to these
natural groups, and a proper classification of
such additional Discoveries or Revisions.

But few Genera of which only the flowers
are known and not the fruit, or viceversa, will
be introduced ; but some may, as did Gaertner
and others when they only obtained imperfect
materials or figures.

INTRODUCTION.

I promised in my Flora Telluuiana 1836
concluded in 4 parts and 1225 articles, to add
soon after some others separately; the Trees and
Shrubs being the most important and strikin<^
vegetable bodies, deserve to be foremost.' They
are the most valuable also by their fruits, tim-
ber, bark, medical productions, &/C: yet have
often been neglected by the Botanists not able
to distinguish objects accurately.

It is a fact that Trees have been the last to
be well ascertained and described every where:
it is only lately that the Elms, Willows, Oaks
and 20 other Genera of Trees' have been pro-
perly distinguished even in Europe, and in North
America our Oaks, Willows, Poplars, Ash trees,
Grape Vines and 40 other Genera of Trees or
Shrubs have been described only within a few
years. Our common fruit trees were not even
distinguished till Decandole attempted it, and
the Plumb trees. Cherry trees, Wortle berries of
N. America are yet in utter confusion with ma-
ny other fruits.

And still we meet with Botanists who pretend
that every thing is known, and that all our vege-
table forms are ascertained and described . . !

In tropical climates where these woody forms
abound, there remains still more to be achieved
or even discovered. The old Botanists Rheede,
Rumphiusj Piso^ Plumier, and many others have
figured a crowd of Trees, from the East and
West Indies, Polynesia and South America,
that are vet deemed doubtful because not so
well described as required by modern refine-
ment, and not met by late travellers in their

4 INTRODUCTION.

rapid excursions ; but they are often sufficiently
designed to be known and classed. When they
have been neglected by our scrupulous Compi-
lers,1 shall make it a point to restore them, and
admit them by proper names, pointing out their
affinities and natural analogies.

Within this Century a crowd of travellers or
explorers have partly made knov/n the treasures
of a luxuriant vegetation in South America, Af-
rica, India, Madagascar, Japan, Polynesia, Aus-
tralia, &c. but only a part of their discoveries
have been published, and even that part is some-
times neglected by the Botanists that do not
travel.

Even now there are some Regions of the
Earth, of which we know little or nothing, as to
their Trees, Shrubs and Plants. Such are for
instance Western China, Thibet, Central Tar-
tary, Eastern Africa, North Australia, Papua,
Borneo, and in America, Western Brazil, Boli-
via, Nicaragua and Guatimala, Slc»

Therefore we have yet an ample field before
us, in attempting to complete the knowledge of
the woody Bodies of our Globe, both as to as-
certaining them all and naming, describing, fi-
guring and classifying them properly.

In this little work nothing else will be attempt-
ed but to collect and restore the chief Genera
omitted or mistaken, adding some new ones, rec-
tifying their names, sometimes their species,
classifying those deemed doubtful, and tracing
their botanical affinities. I have already done
so for manv in mv former works, and above all
in my Flora Telluriana, also New Sylva and
P0310NA of North America. Here I mean to
give additions thereto, and in fact to all the Bo-
tanical works, where the labors of Adanson and

INTRODUCTIOxV. O

Necker, Riimphius and Rheede. with a host of
i5imilar worthy authors, are neglected and omit-
ted or not properly fixed.

In doing this, I shall again adopt the desul-
tory order of arrangement, with alphabetical
Index, and for the reasons often stated, that I
cannot stoop to follow the erroneous sexual sys-
tem, nor the imperfect serial method of any
modern Author. A perfect serial order is yet
a desideratum in Botany, none has hit upon it,
nor begun it by the Rose as I did. I have given
my ow^n view of this Serial Order in first part
of Flora Telluriana, and altho' apparently the
best or least imperfect, if I was to follow it
here, I might certainly be as much blamed as I
may be for my Desultory Order ; which is how-
ever that of Hooker and Lindley in their perio-
dical publications, that of Lamark, Poiret, with
many othe^' writers, and the Centuries of Bivona"^
and ten others.

Altho' we have several woi'ks on Fruit trees.
Forest Trees, Ornamental Shrubs, of some Re-
gions, no work has ever been attempted upon
all those of our Globe; and altho' usually intro-
duced in general works, yet they appear there
drowned and blended vvith the whole of vegeta-
tion : while they hold such a rank by size and
importance, as to deserve to stand alone. We
lack thus a complete view of x\rborescent and
Frutescent forms all over the Earth, and their
natural groups.

A very common distinction, but not always
accurate is their division into Trees, Palms,
Shrubs, Under Shrubs, Thorns, Bushes and
Vines. Except Palms all the others are unna-
tural blending forms of woody Vegetables. The
Cactcs or Cactoid forms, the Smilax or Shrub'

by climbing Monocotyles, and the Stelmians or
Crowned Monocotyles, akin to Palms, are ad-
ditional and more natural.

For these forms, my remarks on habit, classi-
fication and other details, 1 refer to the first part
of my Floua Telluriana, and to the Introduc-
tion to my New Sylva of North America for
the geographical range of Trees : which I as-
sert to form the principal feature in the botani-
cal regions of the Earth.

To explain this fact would require many il-
lustrations and details, more suitable for a Ge-
neral Sylva Telluriana^ (when it shall be under-
taken) than a simple Mantissa or Supplement
like this. Then it will be easy to show how
some peculiar Genera of Trees prevail or are
peculiar to each Region, just like the Oaks in
North America and Mexico, the Willows and
Roses in Northern Regions, the Palms in tro-
pical Regions, Slc, It has lately been proposed
to distinguish and denominate these Regions by
tke prevailing Genera of Plants ; but I should
think the prevailing Trees ought to obtain the
preference.

There are woody forms either Generic or
Specific in almost all the Natural Orders and
Families, and even among the Ferns, Fungi, &c.
However the perennial stem of all the Cellular
Plants are quite peculiar and not proper wood :
those of Monocotyles assume also a peculiar
texture and extraordinary forms, as in Ferns,
Lycopodes, Equisetides; while the Mosses and
Hepatides, are totally herbaceous even when
perennial. Lilies, Orchides, Aroides, Grasses,
&c., when assuming a frutescent form, have al-
ways some peculiar structure,|quite different from
the real Trees and' Shrubs of the Dicotyle Series.

INTRODUCTION. '

In these by far more numerous on Earth, we
find whole families altogether frutescent as the
Palms are among Monocotyles. Such are the
true Rosaceous, Prunides, Pomides, Mag-
nolides, Annonides, Coniferes, Amentaceous,
Cupuliferes, Laurines, Meliaceous, Ericoides,
Vaccinides, Jasminides, Sarmentose, ^nd many
others : while there are but few families that are
totally destitute of the arborescent or frutescent
forms.

Among the obsolete and incongruous Genera
that Jussieu and others could not reduce to his
natural families, because unwilling to see that
they were types of new ones, nearly all were
frutescent and have since been properly distri-
buted or framed into peculiar families, even
when 1 or 2 Genera only may have been the
original types. I shall do the same with some
others, that have been neglected, because the
Botanists were puzzled where to place them.

Lastly the object of this Mantissa is both to
correct generic errors and omissions, and to add
at least all the Trees and Shrubs already known
and described or figured, to our actual mass of
botanical improved knowledge, upon the plan
proposed and pursued in my Flora Telluriana
for many other branches of Botany.

Article 1. Olea Auct. Many Sp. have been
improperly united to this Genus, and many real
Sp. blended as varieties, the common Olive is
the type, all others must be again examined.
The nat. family Oleina of R. Brown of w^hich
it is the type, hardly differs from Jasminea ex-
cept by a monosperm drupe. The real Olea

has Cor, infiindib, stigma hifido^ stylo

elongato and the real Olea europea has

ramis levis, foL ovato lane, mucronulatis,

margine revoluto, subtus albidis, fructo obi.
nigro.- Native of regions around the Medi-
terranean: it has produced 25 varieties nov/
cultivated, distinguished by slight differences of
size, season, value of fruits ; but some presumed
varieties with different shaped leaves or fruits,
are real species, whether primordial or devia-
ted, and many botanists have hinted as much.
All seen alive.

natural G. most of the sp. being frutescent ; but
they are as yet little understood, and the Afri-

Wildenow, Lamark, Smith and Decandole have
but few sp. not well distinguished : Decandole's
account of this G. as well as Vitis and some
others is very imperfect, having neglected the
monograph of American Cottons by Rohr and
Bosc, which I have chiefly used in my own mo-
nograph. Rohr had noticed (but not well
named) nearly 40 years ago 34 species and va-
rieties, taking his characters from the seeds

rather than the variable leaves and glands. I
shall give here a synoptical view of his labor
and mine, having reduced them to 26 botanical
sp. under 3 subgenera, adding the average pro-
duce of Cotton by each tree.

Such are the Genera once blended in Rham-
nus ! to include them all in one G. was prepos-
terous, as no common character could be framed
for the whole. But there are yet several sp.
which cannot be referred with certainty to these
reformed Genera^ as the flowers and fruits were
not described, and some even are not in Wilde-
now nor Decandole ; they must therefore be ex-
amined again: some may not even be of the
same family. The Rh. carpimfolius Pallas
has been supposed to be an Aheliceaov Planera;
of the Rlu ciineatas Hooker neither flowers
nor fruits were seen, and having opposite leaves
with capitate flowers this indicates quite a dif-
ferent Genus. I find in Vitman Rh, mystinus,
nummular la, lielerogemis of Burman, Rli. su-

v/ith Eex &c of my nat. fam. Ilexides 1815,
quite distinct fi'om Borragines by berries or
drupes for fi^iit instead of several akenas as in

Adanson for the G, Prinos and Myrsine unit-

rile filaments in the female flowers ; wherefore
perhaps a peculiar subg. Notholex Raf.
Robin was mistaken to state the stamens op-
posed to corolla, else it would be removed from
the family. Corolla 4parted as in Dahunia, ca-
lix not persistent as in Ageria, thus a peculiar
G. perhaps,

235. Ageria (Ddih) cassena R. Ilex do and
Vomitoria auct. This ought to be the type of
Dahunia^ along with the akin sp. to which El-
liot ascribes 2 stigmas, realy one bilobe or bifid,
and often only 2 seeds. But /. prinoides, li-
giistrina, angustif, myrtifolia ^c, are so blen-
ded and confused, each author appearing to
mean a different kind, that I must leave their
settlement for a peculiar Monograph.

of trees and shrubs, it includes many Genera or
Subg. see till 317. Linneus had only 17 sp. and
now there are 98 in Wild, and Pers. 105 in

yet, and the inside parts difficult to verify have
been observed in but few : it is merely surmised
they are similar to Ficiis carica, which was
odly put in Trioecia ! No one having thought to
revise the Genus, I will do it as to Genera, by

APPENDIX,

Such is the vast field of botanical researches
and reforms, that these series of revised trees
and shrubs although amounting to 1000 articles,
are but fragments of what mJght be done and is
yet required before the Sylvan forms be proper-
ly fixed and named. I have found the subject
expanding as I proceeded, and been compelled
to leave untouched many per)3lexing Genera and
families. For instance the Palms, Ericoides,
Smilaxides,arborescent Grasses and many others,
some of which I hope will soon be better settled
by Decandole or Endlicher. But unfortunately
all the laboring Botanists appear as yet to follow
the absurd principle, so well pointed out by T^v,
Buchanan o^ squeezing species into alien Gen-
era. The whole of this work and my other late
works are sufficient comments on this unwar-
rantable practice, that is the disgrace of Botany,
preventing the science from making; the needfid
rapid progress towards accuracy and perfection.

The Genera and Species to be revised, recti-

15G APPENDrX.

/

fied or restored, are stillnuinereus, and will ever
!)e until Botanists no longer squeeze them into
improper groups, as some would squeeze Men
among Monkeys, or make only one Genus as for-
merly of all the Monkevs, all the Bats, all the
Confervas and all the Lichens I some Generic
reformers like Lindley, Decandole, Agardh &c,
who have done much on some peculiar families,
skip over the glaring deffects of others, or seek
invisible characters of the seeds and embryos,
while they overlook the striking floral disparities!
not having yet seen Endlicher I cannot tell what
he may have begun to do, aud hov/ far we may
have followed the same pa.ths : if we agree, let
it be remembered that my reforms date of 1815.
In all the original accounts and figures of
plants that I can consult, in late ootanical works
and travels, I find corrections to make even
among the well described trees &.c ; while there
are many more imperfectly designated, or even
merely indicated. Much therefore will remain
to be observed and well noticed by future writers.
It must always be so in progressive natural sci-
ences, and those who endeavor to keep them
stationary or impede their progress, are to be
reckoned among the foes of human knowledge,
particularly if they neglect to avail themselves
of the observatioas and researches, of previous
writers, through various pretexts often frivolous
or invidious, my practice instead has always
been to avail myself of all previous accessible
sources of knowledge : many of our plants and
our animals must rest yet upon such observa-
tions of original discoverers, not ahvays easy to
vorify nor to obtain the objects, either rare or of

remote regions.

As to varieties, most of our species are such.

being natural deviations by seedlings assiinung
peculiar forms, in the woods and wilds, as it is
done constantly in our fields and gardens by the
cultivated trees and plants. Those best known
afford most of our noticed varieties or specific
deviations ; but it is only our ignorance or ne-
glect that prevents us from ascertaining in others
all consimilar varieties'. One of the great aim
of accurate Botany is now to hx the typical and
prototype species of each Genus; our subgenera
are mostly such, when not based on floral dispa-
raties. When thus based thev become real
Genera ; whose specific deviations should be
traced.

I have detached from this Sylva, 3 parts of it
that would have swollen it beyond my limits,and
they are printed separately.

1. The revised or new kinds of Oaks, Wil-
lows, Poplars, Ashtrees, Hickories, Waxtrees,
and other akin or related Genera, chiefly from
North America,

2. The Po.AioNA of North America or the na-
tive fruit trees and shrubs of the United States,
greatly increased and revised, including the
Plumbs, Cherries, Vacciniums, Rubus, Ribes,
Vitis, and other Genera of esculent fruits. Of
Vitis and Morus besides Roses. I have published
separate monographs.

3. My Erikon or account and figures of Eri-
cas, Andromedas and akin Genera, with the Di-
osmas, Phylicas and other Ericoid shrubs.

To complete this labor I must now add the
corrections and additions that have been sugges-
ted in the progress of it, and afterwards 3 im-
portant indexes — 1. That of other N. G. of trees
and shrubs described in my Flora Telluriana
and New Flora — 2d. The Index of the Natural

158 APPENDIX.

Classification of all these trees — 3d. The Alpha-
betical Index — I hereafter propose to give a sep-
arate Index of all the trees and shrubs of North
America, classed naturally.

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS.

1. My Pukantlius 264 is the Genus Gra-
buslda of Schlect, a previous name, it is figured
in hot. register 198.5,

2. Add to the Oleas 1 to 13. The Olea emar-
ginata Lam, a tree of Madagascar 40 feet high
forms the G, Noronhia of Stadman and Thenars
— cor. globosa, stam. 2 brevis in fossulis immer-
sis, drupis nux bivalvis 2 sperm.

Tree of Anam.

4. Add to 528 — Schobera alluded to was bas-
ed on Heliotr opium angiospermuni of Murray,
Vitman &.c, the corolla had the tube ventricose
and faux villose ; type Schob. hirsuta Raf. fol.
ovat. obt. undul. repandis, spicis geminis secun-
dis. Asiatic plant united to Heliotropium by
mere habit, but belonging to Verbenides.

5. Add to Culhamia 417. This G. has been
found again by Cailland in Nubia, and has been
called Sterculia setigera by Delile, who only
saw and described the fruits; while the flowers
are quite peculiar.

0. Add to Pimentus 642, Gregia aroniatica
is a real Pimentus with 4 petals.

7. Add to Balanopsis 840. Commerson and
Thenars pretend that the Querciis molucanus
of Lin. are not Oaks^ but belong to this G. and

APPENDIX. 159

several sp. are blended that must be examined,

8. Add to Scurrula 786 — Scurrula cinerea

includens — Celebes, flowers rusty color, called
Taburung meaning bird's dung.

12. RuBus L. this G. of Shrubs, brambles and
plants has not been well revised by Decandole,
although the G. Dalibarda, Comaropsis (bad)
and Cylactis have been proposed : it must be di-
vided in many G. or subg. which I will merely
indicate now. The types of the real Rubus are
the blackberries and raspberries, with compound
leaves, all those with simple leaves must be ex-
ammed again. See till 24.

13. Pancovia Raf. name of Adanson for Co-
marum L. must be given to the Comaropsis an
improper formed name. The true character of
this G. is in calix camp, with interjected seg-
ments as in Fragaria.

N. B,— 1 have not attempted to put these 85
tribes into their Natural Classes, as none of
those proposed are properly natural.except mine
which are explained In the first volume of my
Flora Telluriana. I have ventured however to
separate from this long Series, another series
that approximates to the Endogenous Series by
the regular position of Isoperial stamens, and
must invite the attention of correct botanists, as
indicating one or more Natural Classes.

Second Series of Natural Orders, families or
tribes of Trees and Shrubs.

ENDANTINES (inside oppositing) Cormo-
phytes^ Exogenous, Dicotyle, with regular peri-
gonal flo^^ers, having the stamens isogonal,
either opposed and equal in number to the inner
segnients or petals when existing, or alternating
to those of the outer perigone always present.

Berbcridcs — Odostemon 381.

other new tribes of this Series, including some
shrubs. The Mangides, Evantipes, Menisper-
mides, Sapotides, Primulides, and many others
also belong to it.

Third Series of Natural tribes including
Frutescent Genera.

ENDOGENES or Monocotyles.

Aroides — Pleurospa 803 M.

Asparagoides — Euphyleia 827 M. Gurenias
864 M.

OrcJiides — Many of my revised G, in Flora
Telluriana, assume frutescent or perennial stems,

F«im5— Zelonops 386 M.

As I stated I have not yet revised the frutes-
cent Smilaxides and Grasses.

In my New Sylva of North America, if I had
few New G. I had many New Sp. of trees and
shrubs, such as Hamamelis 4, Viscum 4, Fagus
7, Castanea 4, Evonymus 8, Ceanothus 15, Bu-
melia 4, Celtis 14, Ulmus 6, Morus 5 (in my new

with one N. sp. each of Celastrus, Amorpha, Sa-
pindus, Diospyros, Cephalanthus &.c.

In my work on Oaks &c, I shall have 27 new
Quercus. whoreof 22 North American, — Fraxi-
nus and akin Genera, a monograph of 52 sp.
many new, — Myrica 12 sp. — of Willows or Sa-
