* The generic name Galearis of Rafinesque 1836, has usually been rejected 

 as too near Galcaria Presl 1830, and Galeorchis was proposed by Rydberg as 

 a substitute. There is a tendency now, however, to retain all names possible 

 which are not absolutely identical or differ only in gender terminations, and I 

 think Galearis can safely be retained.
