material seen. The former locality sustains the label "Va." 

 on an old specimen in the herbarium of Columbia University, 

 and the plant should be sought in the Potomac Valley. 



\^ 334. Macuillamia amplexicaulis (Michx.) Raf. (p. 44). 



"Mon. . . . do auct. [= Monniera amplexicatdis Michx.] 

 Carol [ina] Florida. " This name must be added to the synonymy 

 of Hydrotrida caroliniana (Walt.) Small. 



y 336. Bazina nudiflora Raf., gen. (p. 44) and sp. (p. 45) no v. 

 "Lindernia grandifl\ora\ Nut[t]. . . . Florida." Cer- 

 ■ tainly this plant and so a synonym of Ilysanthes grandiflora 

 (Nutt.) Benth. Rafinesque 's specimen had the leaves "crowded, " 

 hence it was possible for him to err in supposing them sub- 

 alternate. The pedicels are alternate. 



338. Ilysanthes brevipes Raf. (p. 45). 



"Allegh[any] Mts. of New Jersey and Pennsylv[ania]." 

 Described as with leaves oblong, pedicels shorter than the leav^es 

 and flowers "white." Certainly the plant is /. dubia (L.) 

 Barnhart, the flowers of which are frequently pale. 



339. Ilysanthes geniculata Raf. (p. 45). 



"Long Island and South New Jersey." Described as with 

 leaves ovate, pedicels equaling the leaves, and flowers "in- 

 carnate." Occasional flowers of this genus may be pinkish, 

 or even incarnate. Apparently the plant is /. inaequaUs (Walt.) 

 Pennell, although in that species the capsules are usually longer, 

 not shorter than the calyx. 



341. Ilysanthes refracta (Ell.) Raf. (p. 46). 



This publication antedates /. refracta (Ell.) Benth., 1846. 



342. Ilysanthes dilatata (Muhl.) Raf. (p. 46). 



Based upon Lindernia dilatata Muhl., 18 16. The name there- 

 fore passes into the synonymy of /. inaequaUs (Walt.) Pennell. 



343. Ilysanthes anagallidea (Michx.) Raf. (p. 46). 



This publication much antedates /. anagallidea (Michx.) 

 Robinson, 1908. This also is a synonym of /. inaequaUs (Walt.) 

 Pennell. 



344."Hemianthus micranthus" (p. 46). 



Credited to Nuttall, and apparently an error for H. micran- 

 themoides Nutt., 1817. It is unfortunate that the combination 

 was not intentionally made, as it would have long antedated
