The Advantages of 1737 as a Starting Point of Botanical Nomenclature^ 



r>y Dr. Otto Kuntzk 



At request of the editor of this journal \Gaertnenschcs Zcntral- 

 blatt\ , I give the following newly proved list of generic names, that 

 do not need to be changed if the starting-point of 1735 is aban- 

 doned. Tiie numbers before the names are the approximate hum- 

 her of species :

* Translated by the author from the Caertnensche ZoitralhhUt, Berlin, 1899, No. 

 The article contains a new motive for 1737 and at the last a new international 



proposition not yet known to American botanists.
