With regard tcf the generic name: Oreocnide Miquel was published on page 
39 of "Plantae Junghuhnianae," "which appeared in March, 1851, according to 
Flora 34 (21 May 1851) 302, though Miquel himsel' gives the date as 1852, 
in his later '^^ claim for the validity of the name. Yillebrunea appeared as the 
generic name of two species in Gaudichaud's Bot. "Voy. Bonite, and has been 
adopted by Weddell and nearly all subsequent writers. The plates were issued, 
according tj>(S?6ddell, between 1839 and 1846, but ^ere not accompanied by ex- 
planationji or descriptions: the former appeared subsequently, in 1866, too late 
to affect the point at issue. The true place of publication must then be that 
where it was taken up by a subsequent author, namely by Weddell in Ann. Sci. 
Nat. Bot. IV 1 (1854) 195. Miquel's name thus has priority. Only the first 
of Ga>idichaud*sf(plates belongs to the genus as now understood.

The place of origin of Villehrunea crenulata Gaudich. Bot. Voy. Bonite pi. 92, 
was doubtfully stated by Weddell, in 1854, to be the Philippines. Although he 
continued to cite this plate in tiie generic description of Villehrunea, even in 
18G9, he reduced the species to his Urera sanduncensis, confining its range to the 
Hawaiian Islands.""
