CERTAIN BORRAGINACEAE. 543 



Omphalodes lateriflora (Aubrey), comb. nov. — Cynoglossum 

 lateriflorum Aubrey, Prog. Morb. x. 25 (1801-1803). 0. littoralis 

 Lehm. Neue Schrift. Nat. Fr. Berl. viii. 98 (1818). 



Solenanthus turkestanicus (Reg &Srairn.), comb. nov. — Kv^- 

 chakewiczia turkcstanica Regel & Smirn. Act. Hort. Petrop. v. 626 

 (1877). Solenanthus Kuschakewiczi Lipsky, Act. Hort. Petrop. xxiii. 

 182 (1904). As Lipsky has well shown, this plant possesses no charac- 

 ters which justify its being maintained as a genus distinct from Sole- 

 nanthus Ledeb. He, however, as indicated above, failed to retain 

 the original specific name. 



Solenanthus stamineus (Desf.), comb. nov. — Cynoglossum stami- 

 neum Desf. Ann. Mus. Par. x. 431 (1807). Solenanthus Tourncfortii 

 DC. Prod. X. 164 (1846). DeCandoUe rightly gives Cynoglossum 

 stamineum Bieb, Fl. Taur.-Cauc. iii. 127 (1819) a new name under 

 Solenanthus, namely S. Biebersteinii, but there seems to be no need 

 for discarding the much earlier C. stamineum of Desfontaines. 



Lappula laxa (G. Don), comb. nov. — Cynoglossum laxum G. Don 

 Gen. Syst. iv. 356 (1838). C. uncinatum Royle ex Benth. in Royle, 

 111. i. 305 (1839). Echinospermum glochidiatum A. DC. Prod. x. 136 

 (1846). Paracaryum glochidiatum Benth. ex Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. 

 iv. 161 (1885). Rindera glochidiata^NaW. Cat. no. 926, nomen nudum. 

 DeCandolle (1. c.) was the first to assign this plant to its proper genus, 

 but it had been previously published by George Don as indicated 

 above. It is of interest that the specimens in the Gray Herbarium are 

 marked "Good Echinospermum" in Dr. Gray's handwriting. 



Lappula Redowskii (Hornem.) Greene, var. Karelini (Fisch. & 

 Mey.), comb. nov. — Echinos'permum Karelini Fisch. & Mey. Ind. Sem. 

 Hort. Petrop. xi. 67 (1846). E. Redowskii (Hornem.) Lehm., var. 

 Karelini (Fisch. & Mey.) Regel, Act. Hort. Petrop. vi. 341 (1880). 

 As indicated by Regel (1. c), like the typical form of the species, but 

 having the sides and faces of the nutlets nearly or quite smooth. The 

 related American species, L. texana (Scheele) Britton, shows a varia- 

 tion analogous to this. 



Lappula omphaloides (Schrenk), comb. nov. — Echinospermum 

 omphaloides Schrenk, Bull, phys.-math. Acad. Sci. St.-Petersb. iii. 

 211 (1845). I must concur in the opinion expressed by Lipsky, 

 Act. Hort. Petrop. xxvi. 567 (1910), that this is a good species of the 

 genus Lappula {Echinospermum). The correct combination, how- 

 ever, does not seem to have been made. 



^ Allocarya glabra (Gray), comb. nov. — Lithospermum glabrum 

 Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. xvii. 227 (1882). Allocarya salina Jepson,
