378 THE AMERICAN MIDLAND NATURALIST 
antedated by Rafinesque’s' Gautiera, a substitute for the name 
proposed by Linnaeus. On the principle that even if the former 
name is inapplicable, the application of the latter is not thereby 
justifiable, we herewith propose Uslaria for the fungus in 
honor of J. J. Uslar? one of the earliest authors of a work on 
plant chemistry and physiology.

GUEPINIA AND LAMIA 
At least two cryptogams have masqueraded under this name 
Guepinia. One of these that of Hepp. could in no sense have the 
right, so it was changed to Heppia Naeg. The Guepinia Fries, 
moreover is untenable being preceded by that of Bastard. The 
Guepinia Fries. seems to have had a substitute suggested in Gue- 
pintopsis Pat., but though a rather unsatisfactory makeshift, 
it were at least more in accordance with logical proceedure than 
to have two plants with the same name. 
The genus of Entomophthorineae’ called by Nowakowski 
Lamia was preceded by the use of the name Lamia Endlicher.® 
Moreover there is also a Lahimia that might be confused. The name 
is at that only a feminine form of the centuries old name adopted 
by Linnaeus, Lamium. Culicicola is suggested to replace the 
homonym.
