Amelanchier amabilis, a new Name. In the September number 

 of this Journal (Rhodora, xxii. 149, 1920) the writer made the 

 combination A. grandifiora While the paper was in press the same 

 name was proposed by Render (Journ. Arnold Arboretum, ii. 45, 

 1920) for a hybrid Amelanchier common in the Eastern United States. 

 The name A. amabilis is, therefore, proposed to replace the name 

 A. grandifiora antedated by the A. grandifiora of Rehder. — K. M.
