OtacantJitts — Stir Ics Charactcrcs dcs. H. Baillon. (Bull. Mens. 



Linn. Soc. Paris, No. 104, 831, 832). 



Differing from Mr. Bentham, M. Baillon holds that O, c(Eru- 

 leiis, Lindl., belongs to the Scrophularinea^ rather than to the 

 Acanthaceae, and that the plant collected by Pearce in Bolivia re- 

 ferred to in the **Genera Plantarum'' under OtacantJms^ represents 

 a distinct genus of true Acanthacese, and proposes for it the name 

 TacoantJitiS Pcarcei^ the generic name derived anagrammatically.
