Celastrus bullatus of Linnaeus is founded on a figure of Plukenet, which represents
C. scandens ! But Plukenet’s phrase ‘ Euonymus Virginianus rotundifolius,

whitish ; leaves ovate or oblong-ovate, obtuse, about 3-nerved from the base,
obscurely serrate, (or sometimes with distant rather conspicuous teeth), rather
shining above (apparently deciduous); fascicles of flowers shorter than the
petioles.
Texas, Drummond!—The specimens are destitute of flowers, the persistent
base of the calyx only remaining on the pedicels, so that it may he a
Ceanothus; hut Hooker, whose manuscript name we adopt, has probably
referred it correctly to this genus. The leaves vary from 1 to 2 inches in
length and J - l inch in -width, on rather slender petioles.
