126 PENNELL: STUDIES IN THE AGALINANAE 
virginiana rubra, foliis et facie antirrhini vulgaris,’’ which is 
unquestionably the current interpretation of the species. A galinis 
palustris Raf. becomes Agalinis purpurea (L.) Pennell comb. nov. 
In Tomanthera he placed, as T. lanceolata, a plant in his her-. 
barium collected in New Jersey by Dr. Cleaver, and cited the 
species as occurring in Pennsylvania and Carolina. His plant 
appears to have been undoubtedly Gerardia auriculata Michx., 
described in 1803 from the prairies of Illinois, his specimen being 
quite small for the species. Possibly the leaves were abnormally 
entire, or perhaps they were lobed at base and this feature over- 
looked. His notice of the rarity of the plant is interesting, 
agreeing with Dr. Darlington and more recent observers of its 
sporadic occurrence in the East. With T. lanceolata he correctly 
but doubtfully associated Gerardia auriculata Michx., though 
incorrectly as a distinct species. The genus Tomanthera, including 
two species as now understood, is accordingly based upon T. 
auriculata (Michx.) Raf. In 1835 Bentham had based his section 
Otophylla upon Gerardia auriculata Michx., in 1846 raising this 
to a genus of the same name. Otophylla Benth. (1846) therefore 
becomes a synonym of Tomanthera Raf. (1837). 
His Dasistoma of 1819 was here continued, and, as above shown, 
Seymeria macrophylla Nutt. was identified with it, though as a 
distinct species. The name Dasistoma was here spelled Dasistema, 
and D. aurea of 1819 was changed to D. auriculata. 
Seymeria he adopted unaltered from Pursh. 
A genus Ovostima was described based upon one species 
O. petiolata from Florida or Alabama. From the description of 
the plant, the large smooth corolla, bicuspidate anthers, etc., 
I believe the plant to have been an Aureolaria, though the descrip- 
tion of the flower as white is surprising. In Awreolaria the 
corolla is fleshy and blackens in drying, not thin and apparently 
white or very pale ochroleucous as described for Ovostima. The 
plant is left as of doubtful identity. 
Macranthera was adopted from Bentham, and for the two 
species that had then been published, M. fuchsioides (N utt.) 
Benth. and M. Lecontei Torr., he proposed two additional generic 
names, Toxopus and Tomilix. As M. Lecontei Torr. appears not 
to have been published till 1837 there is sufficient evidence that
