Nomenclature 



is undesirable so long as it is also used as a trivial name for 

 the substances at present known as auxentriolic acid (auxin-a) 

 and auxenolonic acid (auxin-b), 



Williams (1928) has suggested the word "nutrilite" to mean 

 any substance that affects the growth of organisms, but the 

 need for such a broad term does not seem to have been 

 generally felt.
