ular. This, like the rest of Langeron’s varieties, has been 
overlooked by authors. 
The type species of Aleurites is A. triloba J. & G. 
Forster Char. Gen. PI. (1776) 112, t. 56. This species 
is synonymous with A. moluccana (L.) Willd. Sp. PI. 
ed. 4, 4 (1805) 590; based on Jatropha moluccana L. 
Sp. PI. 2 (1753) 1006— Aleurites integiifolia Vieillard 
(in Ann. Sci. Nat. Bot. ser. 4,16 (1862) 59) was published 
as a synonym of A. triloba Forster. 
From a superficial examination of the synonymy 
given by Pax in Engler Pflanzenreich IV. 147 (Heft 42), 
132 (1910) it would appear that Elaeococca verrucosa 
(Adr. Juss. Euphorb. Gen. Tent. (1824) 112, 1.11, fig. 
35) were an earlier name for Aleurites Fordii . Happily 
Elaeococca verrucosa was substituted for the available 
name Dryandra cordata Thunberg. Since the name 
Elaeococca verrucosa was superfluous when published, it 
is not to be considered for purposes of priority. Likewise 
the synonymy given by Wilson (in Bull. Imp. Inst. 11 
(1913) 460) makes it appear that if the seeds of Dryandra 
oleifera Lamarck (Encycl. Meth. Bot. 2 (1786) 329) were 
taken as typifying the species, (it is said to be a mixture 
of two species) it would be an earlier name for Aleurites 
montana (Lour.) Wilson (in Bull. Imp. Inst. 11 (1913) 
460) based on Eernicia montana Loureiro FI. Cochinch. 
2 (1790) 387. However, Dryandra ole\fera was super¬ 
fluous when proposed, since it was substituted for D. 
cordata Thunberg FI. Jap., (1784) 267. Such names are 
not to be considered for purposes of priority according 
to the provisions of the International Rules of Nomen¬ 
clature, ed. 3 (1935) (Arts. 45 & 60). I have proposed 
(in Amer. Midi. Nat. 21 (1939) 529) that such names be 
forever excluded from use. It appears that the “imprior- 
able” names of Furtado (in Chronica Botanica 5 (1939) 
214-215) are in the same category.
