This sjjecies was published by A. W. Chapman in the first edi- 

 tion of the Flora of the Southern United States under the name 

 Spircmthes toi^tilis. An examination of the material on which 

 the work in his Flora was done proves conclusively that his inter- 

 pretation of S. tortilis was based on specimens referable to S. 

 2)rcecox, Watson. In the third edition of the Southern Flora, 

 Chapman changed his S. tortilis to S. prcecox, Watson, with the 

 understanding that his material was consj)ecific with that of 

 Watson.
