2. Helianthemum, Shaw, 1757, instead of Helianthemum, 
Persoon, 1807.

4. Fagopyrum, Hill, 1756, instead Fagopyrum, Gaertner, 
1791. 
Also Fagopyrum, Ludwig, 1760, before that of Gaertner, but 
only in part, as Ludwig’s genus includes Bilderdyckia, since 
segregated from the Linnaean aggregate Polygonum. 
Also Fagopyrum, Morandi 1761, before that of Gaertner. 
Hill has the oldest specific binary not a duplicate. This 
is noted for the benefit of those botanists that do not accept such 
names as Fagopyrum Fagopyrum, that seem to have become so 
popular of late. 
Fagopyrum vulgare, Hill, 1756, instead of 
Fagopyrum esculentum, Moench, 1794, or 
Fagopyrum Fagopyrum, (Linn.) Karsten. 
5. Abutilon, Hill, 1756, instead of Abutilon, Gaertner, 1791.

before Adanson. 
. Phalangium, Hill, 1756, instead of Adanson, 1763. Mor- 
andi also restored the genus before Adanson. 
Colocasia, Morandi, 1761, instead of Schott. Linnaeus 
had suppressed the genus and put the plant under Arum, as Arum 
Colocasia, Linn. 1753 
9. Argentina, lately recognized as separate from the Linnaean 
aggregate of Potentilla, and having as its type, Potentilla Anserina, 
Linn. was separated by Hill, 1756, and the genus is to be attributed 
to him and not to Lamarck. The plant was called by Hill, Argen-
