Chronological Sequence of the Species. 



Concordance of Linnean Species. — Of the species enumerated in 

 the first edition of the ' Species Plantarum,' five are included here 

 as distinct si^ecies ; the other four are disposed of as follows : — 



G. aggregata = Arenaria aggregata Lam. 

 G. fastigiata is divided into separate species. 

 G. rigida = Tunica rigida Scop. 

 G. 2)rostrata = G. repens. 



In the second edition (1762), another species, G. StnttJditm, is 

 described : the other form described here does not differ essentially 

 from G. perfoliata. To these must be added Saponaria j^orrigens, 

 described in 1767, and first included in Gypsopliila by Fenzl, not by 

 Boissier, as usually stated. This brings the present number of the 

 species described by Linnaeus down to seven. 



The post-Lhinean species up to 182 J^. — This embraces the period 

 which terminates with the appearance of DeCandolle's ' Prodromus.' 

 Nine species belong to this period ; they include : — 



Bokejeka capillaris (1775) of Forskahl, which was afterwards 

 figured and described by Delile, by whom it was placed in 'Gypso- 

 pliila. 



G. pidposa (1782), a segregate of G. fastigiata. 



G. viscosa (1783), of which an excellent figure is given with the 

 original description. 



G. glomerata (1797), in Nov. Act. Acad. Scient. Imper. Petropol. x. 



G. arenaria (1802), a segregate of G. fastigiata. 



G. cajntata, tenuifolia, Eiud elegnns, in the 'Fl. Taurico-Caucasica' 

 (1808). 



G. transsylvanica, first described as Banffya petrma in 1816 by 

 Baumgarten, which genus, however, has not been retained. 



In DeCandolle's ' Prodromus,' under the section StnUhiiim of 

 this genus, there are four species which, from their meagre
