Abt. 1 (1928) 482), in which its writer ‘‘affirms and denies 
the existence of caffeine in I/ex Cassine all in the same 
paragraph’’ (Maxwell, M. M.: ‘‘Tlea Cassine L. ... 7’ 
ms. report (no date) in Libr. Econ. Bot. Harvard Univ. ). 
Loesener (in Bot. Centralbl. 47 (1891) 168) rejects Ilex 
vomitoria in favor of Ilex caroliniana (Lam.) Loes., a 
combination which he made on the basis of Lamarck’s 
Cassine caroliniana. This procedure is not permissible. 
Lamarck’s binomial Cassine caroliniana (1788) is not 
available, since it is a substitute for the validly published 
Cassine corymbosa Miller (Dict., [ed. 8] (1768) Cassine 
No. 1; [cones (1760) 88, t. 1). It might be pointed out 
in passing that Miller’s Cassine corymbosa does not reter 
to the concept Ilex vomitoria. 
The other synonyms of J/ew vomitoria have not, for 
the most part, entered into the chemical, pharmacologi- 
‘al and anthropological literature. They are included in 
the foregoing enumeration for the sake of completeness. 
Several of the Rafinesque names are referred to Ilex 
vomitoria with some reserve. They are not based on 
specimens which might be examined, and the descrip- 
tions are brief and vague in the extreme. It is fortunate 
that they do not need to be considered nomenclatorially 
in determining the correct name of the yaupon, but, be- 
ing later, can be relegated immediately to synonymy.
