Cacalia rotundifolia (Raf.) comb. nov. 

 The name of the Great Indian plantain, Cacalia reniformis 

 Muhl. (in Willd. Sp. PI. 72, • I753- 1804) is invalidated by an eariier 

 Cacalia reniformis Lam. Fl. Fr., 2: 75. 1778. For this 

 reason the species was renamed Senecio muhlenbergiiby 

 Schultz Bipontinus (Flora, 28:499. i845)- Rafinesque took up the 

 name of Muhlenberg's in Mesadenia (M. reniformis Raf.) but 

 also gave the same plant another name, Mesadenia rotundifolia 

 Raf. (New FL, 4: 79. 1836), which becomes the available name 

 where the species is regarded as a member of the segregated genus 

 Mesadenia.
