Blake Revision of Polygala 111 



Hebecarpa, but the description (" capsula . . . glaberrima ") does 

 not apply to any known species of that group. 



P. capitata Sess. & Moc. Fl. Mex. II. ed. 163 (1894). Undeter- 

 minable. 



P. chinensis L. Sp. i. 704 (1753). In Fl. Jam. 381 (1759) and in 

 later publications Linnaeus included Patrick Browne's Polyala 

 no. 4 (Nat. Hist. Jam. 287 (1756)) under this species. It was un- 

 doubtedly P. jamaicensis Chod. 



P. Conzattii Gand. Bull. Soc. Bot. Fr. lx. 454 (1913), not Rose, 

 Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. xiii. 307 (1911). This species, based on 

 Conzatti & Gonzalez 152, from Oaxaca, belongs to sect. Euhebe- 

 carpa, but is not determinable from description. 



P. cruciata L., recorded by Bennett, 1. c. 202 (1879), and P. cru- 

 ciata forma parva A. W. Benn. ex Hemsl. 1. c. 59 (1879), nomen, are 

 P. conferta A. W. Bennett. 



P. diversifolia L.! Sp. ii. 703 (1753) is Securidaca volubilis L. 



P. domingensis Bert, ex Spreng. Sys. hi. 172 (1826) as syn. 

 Badiera Berteriana Spreng., q. v. 



P. galioides Poir. Ency. v. 503 (1804). Recorded by Hemsl. 

 1. c. 59 (1879), whose specimens are P. turgida Rose and P. subalata 

 Wats. (Parry & Palmer 39|) and P. aparinoides H. & A. (Beechey, 

 Salvin & Godman). 



P. guatemalensis Gand. Bull. Soc. Bot. Fr. lx. 454 (1913), not 

 A. W. Benn. (1895), based on Tuerckheim an. 1906, from Alta 

 Verapaz, is probably P. costaricensis Chod. 



P. hebecarpa DC. Prod. i. 330 (1824). P. americana Mill. 0. 

 hebecarpa (DC.) A. W. Benn. Journ. Bot. xvii. 139 (1879), as to syn. 

 Santo Domingo, Nectoux. Considered by De Candolle as perhaps 

 referable to P. ovata Poir., but referred by Chodat to P. caracasana 

 HBK. If indeed identical with P. ovata as suggested by De Can- 

 dolle, the species cannot be the same as P. caracasana. 



P. inaequiloba Turcz. Bull. Soc. Nat. Mosc. xxvii. no. 2. 349 

 (1854), based on Galeotti 877 bis, is still dubious. 



P. mexicana DC. Prod. i. 333 (1824). Based on a plate in the 

 inedited Fl. Mex. of Mocino & Sesse (Calq. Dess. t. 40) which is 

 almost certainly P. scoparia HBK. 



P. minutiflora Presl, Rel. Haenk. ii. 100 (1835-36). A still 

 doubtful species. 



P. nemoralis A. W. Benn. Journ. Bot. xvii. 172 (1879). Based on 

 three collections, the two Mexican and Central American being
