X. SYNONYMY OF THE NOETH AMEEICAN 



SPECIES OF JUNCODES WITH FURTHER 



NOMENCLATURAL NOTES ON 



ASTRAGALUS. 



Edmund P. Sheldon. 



The genus Juncodes was founded by Moehring in his Primae 

 LinesB Horti Privati in 1736. It was employed by Sabbati in 

 1745 and adopted by Adanson in 1763. Dr. Otto Kuntze re- 

 stored the genus in 1891.1 



The confusion, however, in which Dr. Kuntze has left the 

 synonymy of the American species has led the writer to pre- 

 pare this list as preliminary to a more extended study and en- 

 numeration of the North American species of Juncodes.
