which have been boiled out, are at any rate so in respect to the awns. 
Fig. 6 represents a species referred to Aurcolaria, figs. 7-8 two species 
referred to Agalinis by Dr. Pennell. It does not seem to the writer 
that the differences in color of flowers and shape of capsule are properly 
to be taken as of generic value, although they do furnish good group 
characters. The best course seem to be the retention of the genus 
as circumscribed by the matured judgments of Gray and of Bentham, 
adopting for it the name Agalinis, to which (in its restricted sense) 
belong the majority of the species. The following new combinations 
are required for the species in the Gray’s Manual range. 
Acatinis Raf. New FI. ii. 61 (“1836” =1837).— Aureolaria Raf. 
l. c. 58. Panctenis Raf. l. c. 60. Gerardia auth., not L. restr. 
Subg. Panctenis (Raf.)— Gerardia sect. Pedicularioides Benth. 
Comp. Bot. Mag. i. 204, 205 (1836)! Aureolaria and Panctenis 
Raf. Il. cc. (1837). Gerardia § Dasystoma Gray, Man. ed. 1. 306 (1848), 
not Dasistoma Raf., the name-bringing syn. Awreolaria subg. Pan- 
ctenis (Raf.) Pennell, Bull. Torr. Club xl. 408 (1913).

Subg. Euagalinis, nom. nov.— Gerardia sect. Eugerardia Benth. 
l. c. 204, 206 (1836).— Type species A. purpurea (L.) Pennell.— The 
elevation of these groups to subgenera, which seems desirable in view 
of their characters, makes it possible to avoid the use of Bentham’s 
name, which has now become unappropriate.

1 According to a letter from Mr. B. D. Jackson, at the Gray Herbarium, pages 193-224 of 
the first volume of the ‘‘Companion to the Botanical Magazine,” including the whole of 
Bentham’s ‘Synopsis of the Gerardieae,’’ were issued in Feb. 1836.
