The old adage, " Who shall decide when doctors disagree ?" is fully 

 exemplified in this troublesome genus ; even the original describers 

 are in error in some instances ; others, with the plant and figure before 

 them, are held to have described a different plant : out of twenty-one 

 species described in the ' Manual ' we are to have no less than twelve 

 fresh names.
