* So far has the idea of priority subsessed the minds of some of our 

 modern botanists in this country that it would appear a breach of priority 

 to correct the grammatical blunders of Linnaeus and so though Ranunculus 

 is masculine for all its other adjectives as binary captions it will remain 

 feminine to accommodate Linnaeus' mistake in writing acris here for acer.
