the difficulty about the genus Nototriche became paramount. -It was there- 
fore necessary to find out about the D’Orsıcny plants mentioned above, 
and as both Remy!) and WzpprLL?) had described specimens collected by 
D'OnnmiGNv, a visit was paid to the Herbarium of the Paris Museum with 
this object. There it was found that Turczanınow’s plants had, apparently 
in every case, been already described by Remy or WenDELL; so that the 
creation. of this new genus for a few stray specimens appears to have 
been due to the carelessness of its author and partly perhaps to the 
omission of the actual numbers of the specimens by Remy and WEDDELL 
from their descriptions. 
The evidence from the labels on the Paris sheets, referring to the four 
plants of p'OnsiGNYv in question, will elucidate the matter. 
n. 1357 is the type of N. discolor Turez. But in Herb. Mus. Paris, this 
number is the type of Sida anthemidifolia Remy and has been 
so inscribed on the label by Remy himself. 
n. 1354 the type of N. eheilanthifolia 'Turcz. has been labelled by WenprLL 
»Sıda anthemidıfolia Remy, Malvastrum | anthemidifolium A. 
Gray«, and there is no doubt that the same plant has been col- 
lected under 1354 and 1357. 
n. 1355 the type of N. incisa Turez. is also the type of Malva parnassiae- 
folia var. lobulata Wedd. in Herb. Mus. Paris; but this again 
according to WeppeLr's label may be M. nubigena Wlprs. » videtur 
eadem ac M. nubigena Wlprs. sub Sida«. Mandon n. 810 also agrees 
with v’Orsıeny 1355 and has been labelled by Wenperr M. par- 
nassiaefolia 8. lobulata, besides which it bears a label M. nubi- 
gena Wedd. It seems probable that these two names refer to the 
same plant especially as no other plant bearing the label M. 
nubigena could be found in the Herbarium. 
Some uncertainty exists with regard to the type of the fourth species 
Nototriche incana Turez. as no specimen of n'OnsiGNY's bearing the n. 1353 
could be found. There are however two sheets of a species, collected by 
D'OnniGNY which is evidently Malvastrum pedieularifolium A. Gray, one 
sheet is numbered 1356, the other has no number. From the short de- 
scription given by Turczanınow®) it seems fairly clear that N. incana is 
the same as the original Sida pedicularifolia Meyen). 
Thus the four species of Nototriche Turez. can be referred to three 
previously known species. Two of these must now be placed in the re- 
established genus Nototriche, which name must unfortunately be revived
