IVEW OErVERA AIVD SPECIES OF TREES AND SHRUBS OF NORTH AMERICA, AND OTHER REGIONS OF THE EARTH, Omitted or mistaken by the Botanical Au- thors and Compilers, or not properly classified, now reduced by their natural affinities to the proper natural orders and tribes. By C. S. RAFINESaUE, A. M.— Ph, D.

BEING A SUPPLEMENT TO THE FLORA TELLURIANA. {Trees and Stiruhs are the Ornaments of the Earth.) PI1IL.ADEJLPHIA : PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR AND PUBLLSHER. ( 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 Gacrtner and others when they only obtained imperfect materials or figures. 2> INTRODUCTION. I promised in my Flora Telluriana 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, fruit like a Quince, rosy flesh of fine flavor, flowers yellow odorous : wood like Ebony. 23. Calsiama Raf.

Bosc.) foliolis 4-6 ovatis integris, racernis terminalibus — large useful tree of Molucas, excellent timber, flowers yellow, pods one foot long ; sap red like blood, staining permanently. This and other Indian names above, are certainly as good as Piper ^ Cassiuy Coffea, and 50 similar Indian or Arabic names of Linneus, If Bessia is not good enough or too near Bassia ! Dendrema or bloody tree is suggested instead. 35. GossYPiuM L. auct. Cotton is a fine natural G. most of the sp. being frutescent ; but they are as yet little understood, and the Afri- can and Asiatic kinds not well described. 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 Rose, 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. 36. Subg.

Zizyphiis and Palhtrus ha\e been generaly adopted, but ¥rangula and Ala- ternus of Tournefort and Adanson less so,while the 8 Genera of Necker out of Rhamnus have been neglected or not referred except Berche- mia. The whole requires yet a total revision as to G, and Sp. which I can only attempt here in part, proposing Genera. — The real Rham- nus is dioical, has a 4fid calix, no petals, 4 sta- mens, 1 style, stigma 4fid. and a berry bilocular 4sperme. The types are /?. catharticus, in- fectorius, dauricus. oleoides and other similar Species, the American J?, cathar Ileus is proba- bly peculiar. CENT. II. 27 105. Alaternus T.

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. carpinifolius Pallas has been supposed to be an Aheliceaov Planera; of the Rh, cuneatus 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. mystinuSy nummularia, heterogenus of Burman, Rh.su- CENT. II. 35 rinamensis of Scopoli, Rh. Iiydriensis of Rac- quet, which are not even mentioned in late sy- nonymies, and that I cannot refer to my Genera. 160.
