Linnaei Alyssum Vesicaria was already quoted by Boiss ier, 1. c, 

 as a synonym to his Coluteocarpus reticulatus, and that he was right in 

 doing so is fully proved by Tournefort's description and figures 

 (Voyage du Levant, II, p. 252 [1717]), referred to by Linnaeus, When 

 Boissier did not make use of the oldest existing speciesname. it was 

 probably because he considered its combination with Coluteocarpus to be 

 tautological, but according to the now prevailing rules for botanical 

 nomenclature this reason is not sufficient. When the „Index Kewensis" 

 refers Alyssum Vesicaria L. as a synonym to Vesicaria utriculata DC, 

 this is an evident mistake, as neither Linnaei description nor the figure 

 given by Tournefort has any resemblance with V. utriculata.
