Brandegee recorded his specimen as Melochia serrata Benth. 
Hemsley (Biol. i. 130, 131) included M. serrata Benth. and 
M. hirsuta Cav. as separate species, but cited the same 
specimens under both names. The combination Melochia 
serrata (Vent.) was proposed by St. Hilaire and Naudin 
in 1842, two years before Bentham used it in the ‘‘ Botany 
of the Sulphur.”’ Schumann L.c. quoted Bentham as having 
used the name in Hook. Journ. Bot. iv. 130 (1842), but 
it does not occur there.
