132 THE AMERICAN MIDLAND NATURALIST. 
vl . 
nid MINUARTIA L. Sp. Pl. 89. 1753. 
The generic name Minuartia appears to be the earliest 
available name for the group of species commonly referred to 
Alsine Wahl. (Not L.), and more recently to Alsinopsis 
Small (Fl. SE. U.S. 419. 1903). 
Arenaria verna L. has already been transferred to Minuar- 
tia by Hiern in 1899, who appears to have made the correct 
delimitation of this group of species.
