As the names Philodendron Schottii, ©. Koch, and P. lingulatum, 
©. Koch, appear to-have been overlooked by Engler and other 
authors, and are not included in the Index Kewensis, it may not be 
out of place to record their establishment here. 
P. lingulatum, C. Koch, was published in “ Appendix Gen. et Sp. . 
quae in Hort. Bot. Berol. coluntur,” 1855, p. 2, which may have been 
issued at the end of 1855 or early in 1856. The species was founded 
upon Arum lingulatum, Linn., as to the diagnosis of Linnaeus and 
Plumier’s figure (t. 37), which he quotes, but not as to the other 
references given by Linnaeus, and is unmistakably described by 
C. Koch. The same plant was described by Schott in 1856 as 
P. dispar. 
appears to have considered that his P. lingulatum had the prior 
claim to recognition, since in Ender, “ Index Aroidearum,” pp. 61 
an 
see before that of Schott, it a pears to me that his namé dhaald 
retained by preference, the Lise being the synonomy of 
the two species :—
