 [The genera Camptopus and Megalopus.] Notizbl. Bot. Gart. Berlin 7:36-43. 1920.— The 

 older name Camptopus has priority for this group of four African Rubiaceous species, and 

 evidence is presented for continuing their generic separation from Cephaelis. An analytical

2214. Lacaita, C. C. The home of Inula Helenium. Jour. Botany 58 : 21-22. 1920.— This 

 plant has been cultivated from time immemorial in various parts of Europe. Linnaeus 

 in "Species Plantarum" mentions only England and Belgium as its habitat. Beck von 

 Mannagetta has asserted that the plant is native in middle Asia and not in Europe. The 

 author takes exception to this, and cites cases in Greece, Macedonia and Italy where it must 

 be native. Trotter and Romano, from their experience in Italy, are cited as also taking 

 exception to Beck's statement. — K. M. Wiegand.
