Crusea allococca A. Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 19 : 78 (1884). 



Found at Corpus Christi, especially in moist ground, altitude 40 feet, 

 and near Gregory, San Patricio county, altitude 35 feet, in open, bare 

 places in pasture land. When imposing the specific name of allococca, 

 Dr. Gray remarks : " Referring this to Crusea, I shall not add unneces- 

 sarily to synonomy by imposing this spe ific name." The giving of 

 another name to a plant already characterized is always an unnecessary 

 addition to synonomy, and much more so when the author knows that 

 he is adding another name, simply because the older one is a poor one.
