fieation of membership just received by Professor Greene, recites the causes and events 
which led to the institution of the committee. "The Congress by a practically unanimous, 
wrongly restored Ucacou Ad. (whieh is Synadrella, DBlainvillea, Amellus ete.; 
only 1 from 4 species belonging to Synedrella) for Sy nedrella Gaertn. 
Wrong renovation of names according to the illegal principle of »prio- 
rity-in-place-names", even if the other genus name got formerly species-names 
(cfr. 8 55 of Paris Code and my commentary): .4gati Ad. (Desvaux gave 1814 
its first 2 species names) — Sesbania Ad. (Persoon in 1807:9 species) Pa- 
sonsia P. Br. (Hitcheock gave 1893 the first species names; P. prostrata Bert. 
in DC. 1828 being a msc.-name and P. herbacea *P. Br." a mistake) — Cuphea 
P. Br. (since Jacq. 1772 gave the first species name, all authors used Cuphea 
excl. M. Hitcheock). 
Errors in naming species, corrected here: Crossopetalum. Rhacoma 
Crantz 1766 (Hitche. 1893); Windmannia pinnata O K. (not. L.); Lygistum 
album OK. (Nacibea alba Aubl 1775 — .Lygistum axillare Lam. 1791); 
Moniera ealycina OK. (Léimosella c. Forsk. 1775 — M. Brownei Pers. 
1807); Stenotaphrum seeundum OK. (Jschaemuwun. s. Walt. 1788 — St. 
americanum  Sehkuhr 1819); Capriola Dactylon OK. 1791 (Hitche. 1793). 
Wrong genera names, although I gave correct ones (if 
after 1753, I gave them for former names as synonyms): TAyana Ham.1825 
— Mayepa Aubl 1775; JDesmodium Desv. 1808 — Meibomia Fabr. 
1763?") Alysicarpus Neck. 1790 — Fabricia Seop. 1777; Centrosema 
DC. 1825 — Bradburya Raf. 1817; Desmanthus W. 1800 — Acuan 
Med. 1786; Calliandra Bth. 1840 — Albizzia Duraz. 1772 (if separa- 
ted from Zygia P. Br); JMiconia R. & P. 1798 — Tamonea Aubl. 
1175; Vernonia Schreb. 1791 — Behen Hill 1769; JMikania W. 1803 
— Willoughbya Neck. 1790; Wedelia Jacq. 1760 non Loefl 1758 
— Wollastonia DOC.; Chaptalia Vent. 1800 —  Thyrsanthema Neck. 
1790; Beureria P. Br. 1756 (by mistake DBowrreria p. 160 but corrected in 
his index) non Ehret 1755 —  Morelosia Llav. & Lex.; Calecolaria L. 1711 
non Lófl. 1758 — Fagelia Schwenck; JPentaraphia Lindl. 1827 (with or

Ad. 1763; .Arceutholobium MB. 1819. — Razoumowskia Hoffm. 1808 
(Mr. Hiteheock puts a ? after the latter name, but I can not see any reason for 
it; my statements are conscientious and exact, and if Mr. Hitchcock does not 
possess the very rare paper of Hoffmann hort. Mosq. 1808, as I suppose, he 
has no right to any doubts); Pilea Lindl. 1821 — A dicea Raf. 1815; Plew- 
rothallis R. Br. 1813 — Humboldtia R. & P. 1794; Microstylis $ Nutt. 
1818 — Malaxis Sw. 1788 non auct. ; Polystachya Hk. 1824. — Dendror- 
chis Thou. 1809; Henealmia L. f. 12481. non Houtt. 1780 non L. 1753 
(both could be valid) — Ethanium Salisb; JManisurus L. 1771 and L. 
2:4) Mrs. Anna M. Vail gave a good monograph of North-american 
Meibomia in Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 1892, but she must quote her name to be 
responsible for the names given by her, f. i. JMeibomia arizonica Anna 
Vail — Desmodium arizonicum 8. Watson; Moeibomia obtusa. Anna Vail 
— Hedysarum. obtusum. —- ciliare W. ,,Muehl.*, etc.
