A QUESTION OF SYNONYMS. 
BY J. A. NIEUWLAND. 
Following the lead of Dr. Rydberg* who proposed the genus 
Galeorchis with Orchis spectabilis Linn. as type, Dr. Small} also 
rejects Rafinesque’s name Galearis{ for that plant, because there 
was an earlier name Galearia Presl,|| a segregate of Trifolium. 
For that matter there was a still earlier Galearia Heist, (1748), 
and since Rafinesque’s time another such for a group of Euphor- 
biaceous plants.§ Rafinesque’s name Calistachya, (1808) of which 
C. virginica (or Veronica virginica Linn.) is the type has not been 
admitted and the Leptandra Nuttall (1818) given preference, 
because there was a_Callistachys Vent. (1803).4] for a similar 
reason to that stated above. Whether Galearis and Galearia, a 
four syllabled word and the other of five, though of common 
derivation, are so sufficiently alike as to constitute synonyms, need 
not be decided here, but may be left to the reader to form his 
own opinion. As a matter of note we may mention that the spoken 
name may be regarded as the name of the plant, for one of the

{| This name was translated into Calisiachya Sm. Trans. Linn. Soc. IX, 
267 (1808). The latter example is not perhaps as typical as the former.
