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  TELLURIAN  A  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  viccversa,  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  TELLUKIANA  1836 
concluded  in  4  parts  and  1225  articles,  to  add 
soon  after  some  others  separately;  the  Trees  and 
Shrubs  being  the  most  important  and  striking 
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  .  .  f 

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

rapid  excursions ;  but  they  are  often  sufficiently 
designed  to  be  known  and  classed.  When  they 
have  been  neglected  by  our  scrupulous  Compi- 
lers, I  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  known  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,  &c. 

Therefore  we  have  yet  an  ample  field  before 
us,  in  attempting  to  complete  the  knowledge  of 
the  woodv  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  many  in  my  former  works,  and  above  all 
in  my  FLORA  TELLTJRIANA,  also  NEW  SYLVA  and 
POMONA  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 


INTRODUCTION.  5 

Necker,  Rumphius  and  Rheede.  with  a  host  of 
similar  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  1  did.  I  have  given 
my  own  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  other  writers,  and  the  Centuries  of  Bivona 
and  ten  others. 

Altho'  we  have  several  works  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  with  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  Arborescent  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 
Cactes  or  Cactoid  forms,  the  Smilax  or  Shrub- 


G  INTRODUCTION. 

by  climbing  Monocotyles,  arid  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,  I  refer  to  the  first  part 
of  my  FLORA  TKLLURIANA,  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  th%;s  fact  would  require  many  il- 
lustrations and  details,  more  suitable  for  a  Ge- 
neral Sylva  Tdluriana,  (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,  &e.  It  has  lately  been  proposed 
to  distinguish  and  denominate  these  Regions  by 
the  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 
Hepatites,  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.  7 

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,  and  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  TELLUHIANA, 
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  which 
it  is  the  type,  hardly  differs  from  JASMINEA  ex- 
cept by  a  rnonosperm  drupe.  The  real  Olea

nigro. Native  of  regions  around  the  Medi- 
terranean: it  has  produced  25  varieties  now 
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.

but  no  essential  difference  given,  it  only  differs 
by  having  flowers  and  fruits  at  all  seasons ;  the 
olives  are  small  ovatoblong  blackish,  oil  good, 
leaves  ovate  lanceolate.     South  Italy.

not  spreading,  very  remarkable  by  bearing 
twice  a  year  and  different  shaped  fruits,  the 
last  not  larger  than  peas  are  like  a  bjadder  of

35.  GOSSYPIUM    L.   auct.   Cotton  is  a   fine

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.  carpinifolius  Pallas 
has  been  supposed  to  be  an  Abeliceaor  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.  mystinus,

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  might  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  perplexing  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  Eridlicher.  But  unfortunately 
all  the  laboring  Botanists  appear  as  yet  to  follow 
tne  absurd  principle,  so  well  pointed  out  by  Dr. 
Buchanan  of  squeezing  species  into  alien  Gen- 
era. The  whole  of  this  work  and  my  other  late 
worts  are  sufficient  comments  on  this  unwar- 
rantable practice,  that  is  the  disgrace  of  Botany, 
preventing  the  science  from  making  the  needful 
rapid  progress  towards  accuracy  and  perfection. 

The  Genera  and  Species  to  be  revised,  recti- 


156  APPENDIX. 

fied  or  restored,  are  still  numereus,  and  will  ever 
be  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  Monkeys,  all  the  Bats,  all  the 
Confervas  and  all  the  Lichens !  some  Generic 
reformers  like  Lindley,  Decandole,  Agardh  &c, 
who  have  done  much  on  some  peculiar  families, 
skip  over  the  glaring  deflects  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  how  far  we  may 
have  followed  the  same  paths  :  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  botanical  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  always  easy  to 
verify  nor  to  obtain  the  objects,  either  rare  or  of 
remote  regions. 

As  to  varieties,  most  of  our  species  are  suck, 


APPENDIX.  lf>7 

being  natural  deviations  by  seedlings  assuming 
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  fix  the  typical  and 
prototype  species  of  each  Genus;  oursubgenera 
are  mostly  such,  when  not  based  on  floral  dispa- 
raties.  When  thus  based  they  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  Oats,  Wil- 
lows, Poplars,  Ashtrees,  Hickories,  Waxtrees, 
and  other  akin  or  related  Genera,  chiefly  from 
North  America. 

2.  The  POMONA  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  arid  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

found  again  by  Cailland  in  Nubia,  and  has  been 
called  Sterculia  setigera   by  Deliie,  who  only 
saw  and  described  the  fruits;  while  the  flowers 
are  quite  peculiar. 

6.  Add  to  Pimentus  642,  Gregia  aromatica 
is  a  real  Pimentus  with  4  petals. 

7.  Add  to  Balanopsis  840.  Commerson  and

12.  RTJBITS  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- 
amined again.     See  till  24. 

13.  PA^COVIA  Raf.  name  of  Adanson  for  Co-

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  flowers,  having  the  stamens  isogonal, 
either  opposed  and  equal  in  number  to  the  inner 
segments  or  petals  when  existing,  or  alternating 
to  those  of  the  outer  perigone  always  present, 

Berberides— Odostemon  381. 

Convolvulides — M.  Kolofonia  1013  till  Buch- 
area  1053,  including  6  fruticose  G.  Rhodoxylon 
1033  &c. 

Gentianides—M.  Roeslinia  495,  Ditereia 
1052. 

Guanidcs  8  M— Ledelia  996  S. 

Loranthidcs  269  M — many  G.  from  Loran- 
thus  781  till  Glutago  792,  Strepsimela  ap.  9. 

Myrsinides — many  G.  from  Ampeloplis  155 
till  Xantolis  168,  Guersentia  989,  Myrsine  ap. 
65  to  Roemeria  ap.  72. 

Rhamnides — 25  G.  from  Alaternus   105  till 


174  APPENDIX. 

Hetheringia  154,  Nirwamia?  160,  Kandena? 
879,  Tubanthcra  ?  998. 

Sarment&se — 12  G.  from  Cissus  501  till  Am- 
pelopsis  514. 

Pselides  735  N.  and  Samolides  998  N.  are  2 
other  new  tribes  of  this  Series,  including  some 
shrubs.  The  Mangides,  Evantipes,  Menisper- 
rnides,  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. 

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

Palms— 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,  Uimus  6,  Morus  5  (in  my  new 
monograph  I  will  have  25  sp.  whereof  7  new,) 
Hydrangea  11.  Chionanthus  6,  Chrysobalanus 
4,  Chrysophylum  2,  Anthelis  2,  Lonicera  516  to 
530.  Spirea  633  to  676,  Forestiera  712  to  727. 
with  one  N.  sp.  each  of  Celastrus,  Amorpha,  Sa- 
pindus,  Diospyros,  Ccphalanthus  &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- 
lix,  22  new  Genera  or  Suhgenera,  6  new  sp.  &c.
