PUBLICATION OF NEW NAMES. 



It has been thought desirable to call attention to the new names 

 which it is occasionally found necessary to publish in the inventory 

 by giving a list of such names as they occur. This list will therefore 

 appear in future issues on the page of the inventory preceding the 

 index. 



The following name is published in this issue: 



25941. Elephantorrhiza elephaxtixa (Burch.) Skeels. 



The names given below have been published in preceding issues 

 of the inventorv: 



mJ 



21750. Albizzia adiaxthifolia (Schum.) W. F. Wight. 



Bulletin 137 (Inventory Xo. 14), Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Dept. of Agri- 

 culture, 1909, p. 12. 



21797. Sesbax bispixosa (Jacq.) Steud. 



Bulletin 137 (Inventory No. 14), Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Dept. of Agri- 

 culture, 1909, p. 15. 



21820. Xiphagrostis coxdexsatus (Hack.) W. F. Wight. 



Bulletin 137 (Inventory No. 14), Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Dept. of Agri- 

 culture, 1909, p. 17. 



The correct name for the above is Miscanthus condensatus Hack.; the genus Xipha- 

 grostis [Contributions from the U. S. National Herbarium, vol. 9, 1905, pp. 399-400] 

 having been based on a misconception of the type of Miscanthus as established by 

 Andersson in 1856. That author indicated in a note that he did not consider the first 

 species, M. capensis, as typical of the genus, and the second species, M. japonicus, 

 should accordingly be recognized as the type. The usual application of the generic 

 name Miscanthus therefore remains unchanged. 



21824. Phaseolus axgularis (Willd.) W. F. Wight. 



Bulletin 137 (Inventory No. 14), Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Dept. of Agri- 

 culture, 1909, p. 17. 



21893. Chrysanthemum stipulaceum (Moench) W. F. Wight. 



Bulletin 137 (Inventory No. 14), Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Dept. of Agri- 

 culture, 1909, p. 21. 



22349. Phragmites vulgaris loxgivalvis (Steud.) W. F. Wight. 



Bulletin 137 (Inventory No. 14), Bureau of Plant Industry, IT. S. Dept. of Agri- 

 culture, 1909, p. 46. 



22390. Garcixia tixctoria (DC.) W. F. Wight. 



Bulletin 137 (Inventory No. 14), Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Dept. of Agri- 

 culture, 1909, p. 50.
