92 W7^itings of Edward L. Greene. [zoE 



intends his first name to apply to our red-berried elder, because 

 he mistook the trees for that species, describing them when in 

 flower. Later when he found the fruit glaucous he gave them 

 the second name. 



Valeriana rhombifolia Greene is at Harvard credited to V. 

 scorpioides DC. 



Grindelia Hendersoni Greene is G. Oregana Gray. 



Griiidelia lanata Greene is the more pubescent form of G. 

 integnfolia DC. 



Grindelia patens Greene is G. hirsidula H. & A. 



Grijidelia rubricaidis DC Prodr. v. 316, 1836, is taken 

 up by Mr. Greene in place of G. hirsiitula H. & A. Bot. 

 Beech., 147. It has already been shown on a preceding page 

 that the Californian part — not the supplement — of Botany 

 Beechey, must have been printed simultaneously with the first 

 volume of Hooker's Flora Boreali-Americana, printed in 1833. 

 To adopt the true date of Hooker's Flora, and continue the 

 obviously incorrect one of the early parts of Bot. Beechey admits 

 apparently of the largest amount of changes possible. Mr. 

 Greene's action tacitly infers gross injustice on the part of De 

 Candolle's contemporaries. We shall be driven finally to settle 

 these matters by afiidavits from the printers or excerpts from 

 ancient ledgers. 



Grindelia patens Greene is G. hirsutnla H. & A. As Mr. 

 Greene had not access to the types how could he be certain that 

 G. ruhricaulis and G. hirsutula did not represent the two 

 forms into which he would divide the received G. hirsutula? 



Hazardia detonsa, cana, & serrata Greene are all the same 

 species, Diplostephium canum Gray. 



Helianthella Nevadensis * Greene is H. Californica Gray. 



Viguiera Parishii f Greene is V. deltoidea Gray. 



Madia hispida Greene is M. elegans. Mr. Greene is in error 

 in his statement that it flowers at a different season. 



Chcenadis lacera Greene is a pappose variety of C. artemisicz- 



folia Gray.
