Aia(TK(vr) " we find Tournefort's Oriental Phelipaea in Orohanche, 

 just as in Willdenow's Species Plantarum, but now forming 

 tog-ether with the American Orohanche uniflora (AphyUon 

 uniflorum of most authors) a distinct *' tribus " Anoplon, 

 whilst the Portuguese species is described as Orohanche 

 Phelypaeu, Wallr., and with Orohanche violacea, Orohanche 

 Phelypaea, WiUcl. and 0. tinctoria, Forsk. referred to a new 

 " tnbus " Haemodoron. The very unnatural " tribus " AnopJon 

 was raised to generic rank by Eeichenbach (Consp. Eegn Veg. 

 212 b 1828), following which C. A. Mever in 1831 formed 

 the combination Anoplon Biebersteinii (Yerzeichu. d. Pflanz. 

 Caucasus, p. 104) with an emended generic diagnosis, 

 evidently adai^ted to the Caucasian species. Endliclier in Genera 

 Plantarum (1839) p. 72T adopted Reichenbach's view, but finding 

 Anoplon already m use in zoology, he changed it into Anoplan- 

 thiis, creating a section Anhlatum for the reception of the 

 Oriental plant. This barbarous name, a corruption of the Ger- 

 man Ohnblatt, he took over from Tournefort (Corr. Inst. p. 48) 

 who, however, had applied it to a totally different plant, possibly 

 a species of Lathraea. Walpers then made the combination 

 Anoplanthus coccinens in 1844 (Repeit vol. iii. p. 481). Eeuter 

 in l)e Candolle's Prodromus vol. xi. (1847) pp. 41-43 followed 

 ^ncllicher, except m so far as he replaced the name Anhlatum 

 by Alacranoplon. The same nomenclature was adopted by 

 Boissier m Flora Orientalis, vol. iv. (1879) p. 494, Although 

 Bentham m Bentham and Hooker, Gen. Plant, ii. p. 982, some 

 three years previously had revived Tournefort's genus in the 

 circumscription given to it by Jussieu. Beck in his monograph
