talis Europaca by Pursh, in 1S14, It was actually separated as a 

 variety by Persoon, in 1805, and as a distinct species by Rafinesque, 

 in 1808. Its synonomy should therefore appear:

4. Elatinoidcs\\^e\Xsi. This name, proposed in 1891 in Engler 

 & Prantl's great work, is obviously identical with Dumortier's 

 Kickxia^ published in 1827 (at which time this latter name was un- 

 preoccupied, although since used as Kixia or Kickxia^ for an en- 

 tirely different genus). When the writer first noticed this in his 

 own copy of the Florula Belgia, he thought that it might have been 

 overlooked, but it is cited in De CandoIIe's Prodromus, Pfeiffer's 

 Nomenclator and Synonyma, and the Index Kewensis ; in fact, 

 about everywhere where it would be looked for. Our two species, 

 both introduced, are the ones w^hich constituted the genus as orig- 

 inally published by Dumorticr.

5. IVulfcnia Houghtoniaiia (Benth.) Greene. This plant was 

 described by Bentham as a new species in 1846, under the name 

 Synthyris Houghtoniana. It is perfectly clear, however, that this 

 is the same plant intended by Eaton, six years earlier, in his de-
