synonymy of his A. Crnx-Andre;:e and A. hypericoides was greatly confused. The
name Crux (Sancti) Andrea, commenced with Banister (cat. stirp. Virg.), which
is referred to Hypericum pumilum sempervirens &c. Pluk. mant. p. 104;_the
plant of Plukenet proves to be A. stans, Michx. (fide herb. Pluk. He r e Lin.
nseus obtained the name Crux.Andrea, but he does not adduce that plant of Plukenet
to his A. Crux-Andrese, but establishes it wholly upon Hypericoides ex terra
Mariana, floribus exiguis luteis,’ Pluk. mant. ; which plant proves on inspection
to be Hypericum mutilum ! Linnseus founded his A. hypericoides upon A. foliis
ovalis, Hort. Cliff, (of which no specimen is preserved in herb. hart. Cliff.) and
of Gronov. Virg. (which is A. Crux-Andrese of this work and of American
authors); Hypericoides frutescens erecta &c. Plumier, gen. p. 51, (a West
Indian plant) ; and to these is added, Hypericum pumilum sempervirens &e. Pluk.
1. c. (which is A. stans, Michx. as we have stated above.) Thus far the first edi.
ion of the species Plantarum. In the second edition the character of A. Crux-
Andrese is changed, and the synonyms of Hort. Cliff, and Gronov. Virg. are transferred
from A. hypericoides to this species; so that the A. Crux-Andrere, Linn,
spec. ed. 2, may be said to be our plant of that name, and should therefore doubtless
be retained, notwithstanding the earlier confusion. The A. hypericoides is likewise
modified, the syn, of Gronovius &c. excluded, and a Jamaica plant of Browne
introduced, so that this species may be said to rest chiefly on the West Indian plant;
which being probably different from ours, the name, A. stans, Michx. ! should
be continued for our plant.

26. H. elatum (Ait. not of Juss.)—We have not been able to find any
specimen of the plant published in the Hortus Kewensis; which seems to
belong to the same group with A. hircinum, &c. But in the Royal Herbarium
at Berlin (in the general collection) we met with a plant sent by Mr.
Kinn (doubtless from the mountainous portion of the Southern States) under
the name of “ Hypericum: grandiflora”, which is entirely new to us, and
seems to be Aiton’s H. elatum. It is a large flowered species, belonging to
the same section with H. hircinum and H. Canariense.
27. H. fasiigiatum (E ll.! fide herb.) is a form of H. adpressum, with
longer and more acute leaves, and a larger and more fastigiate cyme than
usual. It may be appended as a variety of that species. (/?. fastigiatum.)
