Rhani.,p. 62.; Amer.^ Dec. Prod., 31.; Don's Mill., 2. p. 37. Synonymes. iihamnus species L., Juss., Lam.; Ceanothe, Fr. ; Sakebbaum, Ger. Derivation. From keanothus, a name employed by Theophrastus to designate a spiny plant, derived from keo, to cleave : the modern genus has, however, nothing to do with the plant of Theophrastus. The English name. Red Root, is given to the plant in America, from the red colour of tne roots, which are of a large size in proportion to the branches. Gen. Char. Calyx with a subhemispherical tube, and 5 connivent segments. Petals 3, unguiculate, cucullate, deflexed. Stamens with ovate 2-celled an- thers. Disk spongy, annular. Ovary spherical, girded by the disk, 3-celled. Styles 3, diverging, terminated by small papilliform stigmas. Fruit tricoc- cous, girded by the circumcised tube of the calyx. (Don's Mill.') Leaves simple, alternate, stipulate, persistent or deciduous ; ovate or ellipti- cal, serrated or entire. Flowers terminal or axillary, in elongated racemes. â Shrubs, natives of North America, very ornamental in British gardens, and easily propagated by cuttings of the young wood, planted in sand, and covered with a hand-glass. Most of the species produce seeds freely in British gardens, and they all grow in any common garden soil. 1. C americaVus I/. The American \ms, or Red Root; or New Jersey Tea. Identification. Lin.
