and finds that Linne cites Loefling, but does not so much as 

 mention his generic names. In the meanwhile, Wede/ia Jacq., 

 Enum. PI. Carib. 8: 28. 1760, was proposed for a genus of 

 Compositae which is current to-day, with very many species. 

 Wedelia Loefl., Reise 240. 1766, had an assigned type, the 

 Allionia incarnata L., but this is several years subsequent to 

 Jacquin's publication. 



The type oi Allionia Loefl., L., Syst. ed. 10, 890. 1361 (1759) 



is A. violacea L., as Mr. Standley states. Wedelia Loefl., in the 



Allioniaceae, is thus left nameless, and Wedeliella is herewith 



> proposed. The species, with references to the pages of Mr. 



Standley's work (Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. XII, part 8, 331 et 



. seq. 1909) are as follows : 



Wedeliella cristata : Wedelia crislata Standley, p. 331.

Walton's Wild Flowers and Fruits* 



This practical guide to the wild flowers and fruits follows the 

 earlier popular books in arranging the plants in color groups. 

 Much time is saved, however, in finding the name of a plant, by 

 the addition of a series of easy and ingenious chart or diagram 

 keys — one for each color group. These keys are based upon 

 such characters as the manner of growth (climbing, upright, etc.) 

 the flower and leaf arrangement, the number of petals, and the 

 presence of thorns. The keys and the flower descriptions are
