SOME PROPOSED CHANGES IN NOMENCLATURE. 

 By James Britten, F.L.S. 



In the course of working out the nomenclature for the IVus* 

 trations of the Botany of Cook's First Voyage, now in course of 

 publication, certain changes have seemed necessary, which it may 

 be well to put on on record in a form more easily accessible. One 

 such change has already been noted in the substitution of Cosmia 

 for Calandrinia (Jouin. Bot. 1900, 76) ; those now to be given 

 affect genera which will appear in the part of the Illustrations 

 shortly to be issued. 



Huttum. 



This ugly name, which, like many by the same author, seems 

 devoid of meaning, was pubhshed by Adanson in his Families des 

 Plantes, ii. 88 (1763). There is no doubt as to what he had in 

 view, for in his Index he cites •' Rumph. 3, t. lU a 116," and the 

 first of these plates is cited by the Forsters when establishing their 

 Barrinytonia (Char. Gen. p. 76, t. 38 (1776)). 



There has been so much divergence of opinion as to the position 

 of the imperfect specimen collected by Banks & Solander and pre- 

 served in the National Herbarium, that I propose to follow Miers 

 in regarding it as a distinct species, for which I retain his specific 

 name; it will therefore stand as Huttum culyptratuiu. Seemaun: 

 (Fl. Vit. 83) assigns it doubtfully to H, (Barrinytonia) edule; 

 Bentliam (Fl. Austral, iii. 28) refers to it as intermediate between 

 H. (B.) speciosum. and H. yB.) acntawjulum ; Mueller (Fragm. ix. 

 118) places it under H. (B.) racemosum, to which it is certainly 

 more nearly aUied than to either of the other species named. None 

 of these authors, however, consulted the plate, which will be re- 

 produced in the Illustrations.
