I am unable to find that Salisbury's name for the genus 

 had ever been published, except as a mere name, without 

 description or equivalent, before the appearing of Nuttall's 

 Genera. If this be true, Symplocarpiis is antedated by Ido- 

 des.^ But Pvafinesque's name, and its publication with exact 

 equivalent, are unimpeachable as earliest of all, I think.
