92 Writings of Edward L. Greene. [ZOE 
intends his first name to apply to our red-berried elder, because 
he mistook the trees for that species, describing them when in 
flower. Later when he found the fruit glaucous he ane them: 
the second name. 
Valertana rhombifolia Greene is at Harvard credited to V. 
scorpiotdes DC. 
Grindelia Hendersont Greene is G. Oregana Gray. 
Grindelia lanata Greene is the more pubescent form of G. 
integrifolia DC. 
Grindelia patens Greene is G. hirsutula H. & A. 
Grindelia rubricaulis DC. Prodr. v. 316, 1836, is taken 
up by Mr. Greene in place of G. hirsutu/a H. & A. Bot. 
Beech., 147. It has already been shown on a preceding page 
that the Californian part—not the supplement—of Botany 
Beechey, must have been printed simultaneously with the first 
volume of Hooker’s Flora Boreali-Americana, printed in 1833. 
To adopt the true date of Hooker’s Flora, and continue the 
obviously incorrect one of the early parts of Bot. Beechey admits. 
apparently of the largest amount of changes possible. Mr. 
Greene’s action tacitly infers gross injustice on the part of De 
Candolle’s contemporaries. We shall be driven finally to settle 
these matters by affidavits from the printers or excerpts from 
ancient ledgers. 
Grindelia patens Greene is G. hirsutula WH. & A. As Mr. 
Greene had not access to the types how could he be certain that 
G. rubricaulis and G. hirsutula did not represent the two 
forms into which he would divide the received G. hirsutula? . 
Hazardia detonsa, cana, & serrata Greene are all the same 
species, Diplostephium canum Gray. 
flelianthella Nevadensis * Greene is 7. Californica Gray. 
Vigutera Parishit + Greene is V. deltoidea Gray. 
Madia hispida Greene is M. elegans. Mr. Greene is in error 
in his statement that it flowers at a different season. 
Chenactis lacera Greene is a pappose variety of C. artemisie- 
folia Gray.
