Herr. Loesener discusses the names which should be applied 
to the Dahoon Holly and the Cassena. He concludes that the 
-Dahoon should be called //exr Cassine, L., and inasmuch as Cas- 
sine Caroliniana, Lam. (1783) is the earliest name certainly as- 
sociated with the Cassena this should be known as //ex Carolin- 
tana (Lam.), Loes. He makes no allusion to Prof. Sargent’s 
careful study on this point, the results of which are published in 
Garden and Forest, ii. 616, and Silva N. A. i. 111, and we pre- 
sume that he is ignorant of them. Prof. Sargent shows that as 
Miller published /iex Caroliniana in 1768 for the Dahoon that 
binomial is not available for the Cassena, which must bear the 
name J. vomitoria, Ait.
