the valuable character of the collections which are contained in

proof building for its reception.’’ 
The remainder of the sessions was largely occupied by dis- 
cussions on the ‘‘ Nomenclature of Plant Diseases,” ‘‘ On the 
Terminology of Anatomy and Morphology,” ‘‘On the Termi- 
nology of Physiology,” ‘‘On the Nomenclature of Horticultural 
_ Forms,” and ‘‘On Bibliography.’’ The Congress wisely refrained 
from committing itself to any extent upon these questions, pos- 
sibly it occurred to some of the members that the opinions and 
practice of European botanists might be factors in the settle- 
ment of them. 
The Congress which began by electing Professor EK. L. Greene 
for its President, ended appropriately by a vote of thanks to 
Otto Kuntze. Kk. 3 
GILIA SUPERBA. PHACELIA NUDICAULIS. 
Since the publication of Plants of Southeastern Utah, Zoe iv, 
2, I have distributed specimens of the new and rare species to 
the principal herbariums of the country. To Dr. B. L. Robin- 
son of the Gray Herbarium I am not only indebted for the 
knowledge of some errors in determination, but also for the great 
privilege of examining some of the types, and so I have the 
chance to make prompt corrections. 
Gilia superba, described as a new species, page 122, and 
figured in plate xxvii, is G. sudnuda Torr. Dr. Robinson 
compared this with the type. : 
Phacelia nudicaulis n. sp., page 123, is P. demissa Gray. 
This I compared with the type which Dr. Robinson so kindly 
lent me. 
While it is to be deplored that these species are weighted 
with an additional name, yet the new descriptions with the field 
notes and plate may serve to ward off another calamity of the 
same nature. ALIck Eastwoop.
