268 TiiE Juuitj^AL OF eota:ny 



Of the ten names proposed by Grauer, nine are included in tlie 

 Indecc Kewensis, Thymus hirtiis Grauer being omitted. They 

 appear, however, to have been taken up at second-hand : thus Eihes 

 glandulosuni Grauer from Labrador is entered as " Hab. ? " and a 

 '' B. ylandidosum Ait." is also included, although Alton merely 

 adopted Grauer's species (attributing it to Weber). The chief 

 interest of the Decuria is that five of the specihc names published in 

 it supersede names that are generally accepted. As the work is so 

 rare it seems desirable to reprint Grauer's descriptions in a condensed 

 form. 



1. Heltotroptum iiirsutissimum Grauer, PL Min. Cogn. Dec. 1 

 (1784). Heliotropium caule tomentoso, villoso ; foliis altei-nis, 

 ovatis, villosis; spicis conglomeratis terminalibus. — HeUofrojjiutn 

 majus, villosum; ^jiore mayno, inodoro. Tourn. Coroll. 7. 



Hah. In Insula Melo. 



Caulis fruticosus; rami toraentosi, infeiius incani, superius

 alterna, ovata, villosa, splendentia; petioli tomentoso-villosi, incani. 

 Jnflorescentia spicata, terminalis ; spicie conglomeratai, subsolitariae. 

 Flares alterni. Calyx ut rami, tomentoso-villosi, laciniis linearibus, 

 obtusis. Corolla generis; tubus calyce longior, utrinque villosus ; 

 faux clausa squamis subulatis ; limbus glal)er. Fcricarpium simile

[^Heliotropium Iiirsutissimum supersedes H. villosum Willd. 

 (1797), which is based on the same Tonrnefortian reference. 

 Halacsv (Consp. Fl. Gnec. ii. 814; 1902) followed ]^oissier in re- 

 taining the name H. villosum, although it had been reduced in the 

 Index Kewensis (i. 1122; 1893) to H, Iiirsutissimum. — T. A. S.]

\liihes glandulosum Grauer is conspecific Avith F. prosiratum 

 L.'Herit. ( 1785), which it antedates. It was not cited m Janczewski's 

 monogmpli of Fit)es (Mem. Soc. Phys. Hist. Nat. Geneve, xxxv. ;
