The four synonyms indicated al)ove have resulted from Gigho- 

 Tos' designation as genera the phjda recognizable in the genus 

 Stagvwntanfis. One alone of the genera so separated, Isotnantis 

 Giglio-Tos, appears to have validity, or to be at least worthy 

 of subgeneric rank. 



All of the others, as material now before us including all the 

 genotypes satisfactorily demonstrates, arc based on characters 

 which, we are convinced, have at best no higher than group 

 value within the genus.
