time to examine I find his dates and facts entirely correct. 
POLYPETALA. 
Clematitis, L. (1735)== Clematis, L. (1737). 
This comes from going back to the Systema Plantarum of 
1735, which I do not think desirable. j 
Helleborodes, Ludw. (1737), Adans. (1763), Evanthis, Salisb. 
(1807). 
Beurera, Ehret (1755)==Calycanthus, L. (1759). 
Badianifera, L. (1749)==Mlicium, L. (1759). 
Tulipifera, Ludw. (May, June, 1737)—Liriodendron, L. (Oct. 
1837). 
Cebatha, Forsk. (1775)==Cocculus, DC. (1818). 
Leuconymphea, Ludw. (1737)—Castalia, Salisb. (1805). 
Bicuculla, Borkh. (1797) —Adlumia, Raf. (1808). 7 
This I consider unavailable because Bicuculla was used by 
Adanson in 1763 for species of Diclytra. Rafinesque’s name 
should stand, in my opinion. 
Capnodes, Ludw. (1737)—Neckeria, Scop. (1777)=Corydalis, 
DC. (1805). 
In the BULLETIN, vol. xviii. 265, I noted that MWeckeria, 
Scop. antedates Corydalis, DC., but I was not then aware that 
Capnodes had been used for the genus within the Linnzan time. 
Capnorchis, Ludw. (1737)—=Bicuculla, Adans. (1763)=Diclytra, 
Borck. ( 1797). 
Mosenthinia, Kuntze=Glaucium, Mill. (1737), non Glaux, L. 
Dr. Kuntze regards Glaux and Glaucium as the same word, 
and so renames the latter in honor of his sister and her husband. 
Alyssum, L. The American species which have long been 
known as Vesicarias and which Dr. Sereno Watson has separated 
as Lesquerella, are referred to this genus, at least those which have 
come to the author’s notice. He does not allude to Dr. Wat- 
son’s paper. (Proc. Amer. Acad. xxiii., 249-255 1888). 
Coulterina, Kuntze—Physaria, Nutt. (1838), not Physarium, 
Pers. (1795), the latter a genus of Fungi. The name is in honor 
of President John M. Coulter. As Mr. Rose has already dedi- 
cated to him a genus Coulterella (Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. No. 
iii. 71, 1890) in Composite, it is unlikely that the one here pro-
