1915] Blake,— Neglected Names in Walter’s Flora 131 
seems to the writer, however, that these names should not be rejected 
on the ground of homonymy, since the genera under which they were 
published, though unfortunately all provided with the same apology 
for a name, were properly described and differentiated, and the case 
is therefore not comparable with that of identical specifics in the same 
genus. 
Very many of Walter's new names have been in long-continued use, 
and some others must remain doubtful on account of the absence of 
specimens and the insufficiency of Walter's descriptions; but the 
twenty-odd changes here proposed on the basis of a careful study of 
Walter's herbarium in connection with his Flora are believed to be 
beyond reasonable doubt: several indeed have already been proposed 
by others. 
l. Anonymos caroliniensis Walt. Fl. Car. p. 60 = ErvrRARIA 
CAROLINIENSIS (Walt.) Pers. Syn. i. 23 (1805). This displaces E. 
virgata Michx. Fl. i. 9, t. 1 (1803). No specimen in Walter Herbarium. 
The narrow-leaved variety from Florida should be called E. caro- 
LINIENSIS (Walt.) Pers. var. angustifolia (Fernald) Blake (E. virgata 
var. angustifolia Fernald, Bot. Gaz. xxii. 169 (1896); Tubiflora caro- 
linensis angustifolia (Fernald) Small, Fl. S. E. U.S. ed. 1. 1082 (1903)). 
2. Anonymos umbrosus Walt. p. 63 = MIcRANTHEMUM Umbrosum 
(Walt.) Blake (M. orbiculatum Michx. Fl. i. 10. t. 2 (1803)). No 
specimen, but the description perfectly definitive of this species, 
3. Anonymos caroliniensis Walt. p. 91 = LITHOSPERMUM CARO- 
LINIENSE (Walt.) MacM. Metas. Minn. Vall. 438 (1892) (as L. 
carolinense) displacing L. Gmelini (Michx.) Hitche. (1894). No speci- 
men. 
4. Convolvulus speciosus Walt. p. 93 = IpoMoEA speciosa (Walt.) 
Hall. fil. Bot. Jahrb. xviii. 143 (1893) (I. sagittata Poir. Voy. Barb. ii. 
122 (1789). 
5. Anonymos pinnatus Walt. p. 103 = PETALOSTEMUM pinnatum 
(Walt.) Blake (P. corymbosum Michx. Fl. ii. 50 (1803); Kuhnistera 
pinnata (Walt.) Ktze. Rev. Gen. i. 192 (1891)). A very poor specimen 
is in the herbarium. 
6. StuM suave Walt. p. 115 (S. cicutaefolium J. F. Gmel. Sys. ed. 
13. ii. 482 (1791)). Although S. cicutaefolium is quoted in the seventh 
edition of Gray's Manual (p. 615) as of Sehrank, it was first published 
as a binomial by Gmelin, having been used in a varietal or subspecific 
sense by Schrank (Baier. Fl. i. 558 (1789)) in the form Sium Berula
