This genus is formed of slight shrubs often volubile, inhabiting Mexico, Venezuela, and Co- lumbia. The Malpighiacece^ form a very natural small group in which monographers have traced artificial divisions, according to characters whosa value would elsewhere be considered very small. It may be strictly said of this, as of many other families, that it is a large natural genus whose divisions have been too much multiplied, and will unfor- tunately be still more so if the same principles continue to be applied. With the older botanists down to Linn^^us, all known Malpighiacece were Malpighia^ Banisteria, and Triopterys. At the end of the last century and the commencement of the present, Cavanille had added ' Malpighice J. Qen. 252, Ord. 7.—Malpighi- accm J. Aim. Mus. xTui. 479.—DC. Prodr, i. 677. —Endl.
