Halesia—The Use of the Generic Name. N. L. Britton (Gard. & 
For. vi. 433, Oct. 18, 1893 ; 463, 464, Nov. 8th, 1893. Edw. 
L. Greene, Erythea, i. 236, Nov. 3, 1893.) 
The name Hadesia, P. Br., is shown to belong to a West Indian 
tree, now referred to Guettarda, L., and Mohria is proposed ‘to re- 
place the later Ha/esia, Ellis, by Dr. Britton in his communication 
to “ Garden and Forest,” printed in the issue of that journal of 
October 18th, His attention having been called to the publica- 
tion of a genus Mohria by Swartz in 1806 for a South African 
genus of ferns, and that in the attempt to correct one hononym he 
had inadvertently made another, Dr. Britton, in the issue. of 
“Garden and Forest’’ for November 8th, proposes the name Mohro- 
dendron. In both communications the species are named, thus 
effecting publication under Section 2 of the rules adopted by the 
Botanical Club of the American Association for the Advancement 
of Science at the Rochester meeting. Prof. Greene, in the issue of 
“Erythea ” for November 3d, proposes the generic name Carlo- 
mohria, this name thus having five days’ priority over Mohroden- 
dron. Buthe neither publishes a description of the genus nor 
names species belonging to it, and thus, under the same section of 
the Rochester rules, has not effected publication. All three of the 
names have been given in honor of Dr. Charles Mohr, of Mobile, 
Alabama.
