loS ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



should not have been mentioned here, as it is in the ninth 

 edition, though it was not in the eighth. A few other changes, 

 I find, will still have to be made if we adhere to the law 

 of priority : 



The genus Wahlenbcrgia, Schrad (i 8 14), appears to be ante- 

 dated by Cervicina, Delile, " Fl. Egypt" (1813). Our 

 plant will be C. Jiedcracea. 



Pubilaria, Rafinesque, " Fl. Tell.," ii. 27 (1836), antedates 

 Siinethis, Kunth, "En. PL" (1843). Our plant is P. 

 bicolor, Rafn., I.e. 



Horkelia, Reichb., ex Bartling, " Nar. Ord.," 76 (1830), 

 appears to be earlier than Wolffia, Hork., in " Linnaea," 

 xiii. p. 389 (1839). Our plant would be Horkelia 

 arrJiiza (L.). It was the Lemna arrJiiza of Linn?eus. 



Santia, Savi, in " Mem. Soc. Ital. Mod.," viii. (1798), is earlier 

 than Polj'pogon, Desf., " Fl. Atl." (1800). Our plants 

 are Santia monspeliensis, Parl., " Fl. Pal.," i. 73, and 

 6". littoralis (Smith). 



Coronopus Ruellii, All. (1785), is antedated by C. procumbcns, 

 Gilib. 



Ulcx Gallii, Planch., "Ann. Sc. Nat." (1849), p. 213, is 



antedated by U. provincialis, Le Gall, " Fl. Morb.," 128. 



Loiseleur's U. provincialis, which is earlier than Le 



Gall's, is now merged in U. parviflorus. 

 Poterimn officinale, A. Gray (1868), is earlier than Hook. f. 



The "Kew Index" adopts the name Sedum pruinatiini for 



6". Forstcrianum, Sm. It is a little doubtful if the plants 



are quite identical. 



CJirysantheniUDi Parthenium, Bernh., is earlier than Persoon. 

 Crepis succiscefolia, Tausch, " Fl.," ix. (1828), is antedated 



by Crepis hicracioides, W. et K., ex Willd., " Sp. PL," iii. 



p. 1 60 1 (1800). 

 C. hieracioides, Ledeb., " Fl. Alt." ( i 8 3 3), is a different plant, for 



which another name will have to be adopted. 

 Sonckus asper, Hoffm., should be 5. asper, Hill, " Herb. Br.," 



i. 47. 

 Utricularia major, Schmidel, " Ic. PL," is adopted in " Kew 



Index " for the plant known by us as U. neglect a, Lehm.
