THE GENERIC NAME WEDELIA 



By T. D. a. Cockerell 



The receipt of Mr. Standley's admirable revision of the AI- 

 lionaceae of the United States called up a question as to the 

 propriety of using Wedelia as the name of a genus in that family. 



Wedelia Loefl., Iter. Hisp. i8o. 1758, is clearly a hyponym, 

 since it includes no named species. According to the Index 

 Kewensis, combinations under Wedelia occur in Linn. Syst. ed. 



10, 890, but Dr. Barnhart has kindly looked up this reference.
