The generic name Cantharospermum W. & A. has only page preference over 

 Atylosia W. & A., and the latter is by far the more commonly used one. The 

 fact that Atylosia was not included in the list of nomina conservanda of the 

 Vienna Botanical Congress is an excellent illustration of the inconsistency of that 

 list.

This species was described from specimens cultivated in Russia from> seeds 

 said to have been received from the Philippines, and I have been unable to deter- 

 mine its status from the short description available here. M. C. DeCandoUe 

 informs me that there is no specimen in the DeCandolle Herbarium, and Dr. A. 

 Fischer von Waldheim, Director of the Botanical Garden at St. Petersburg, in- 

 forms me that it is unrepresented in the Herbarium of that Instituli<iii.
