Clausena punctata (p. 140). Add as a synonym: 

 Clnucena Lansium Skeels in Bull. U. S. Dept. Agric. Bur. PI. Indust. 

 CLXVllI. 31 (1909). 



Skeels apparently rejected the oldest specific name on account of Clausena punc- 

 tata Voigt, Hort. Suburb. Calcutt. 140 (1845) ^ based on Amyris punctata Roxburgh 

 {Fl. Ind. ed. 2, 251 [1832]) ; this name, however, is universally considered a sjTionym 

 of C. excavata Burman {Fl. Ind. 87 [1768]), though, as the latter species is based on 

 a Javanese plant, while Amyris punctata is based on an Indian plant, there is the 

 possibility that the two may turn out to be specifically different; in such a case 

 C. punctata Voigt would become the name of the Indian plant, and C. punctata 

 Rehder & Wilson would be replaced by C. lansium Skeels. 



Sageretia Cavaleriei (p. 228). This becomes a synonym of the following name: 



Sageretia Henryi . Drummond & Sprague in Kew Bull. Misc. Inform. 1908, 

 14; 1914, 175.

Fraxinus chinensis, var. rhynchophylla (p. 260). Remove from the enumeration

 Hupeh: Fang Hsien, woods, alt. 1800-2600 m. May 19 and November 1907, June

 of Pan-lan-shan, alt. 2300-2600 m. June 1908 (No. 2778). 



By Lingelsheim these specimens except No. 4441 are erroneously referred to 

 his F. Paxiana. 



1 The combination C. punctata is usually credited to Wight «.t Arnott {Prodr. 

 Fl. Ind. 95, in adnot. [1834]), but these authors did not make the combination, they 

 merely state that Amyris sumatrana and punctata belong to the genus Clausena.
