SIDERANTHUS. 
rof. Greene says this name ‘ will manifestly have to come to 
the tute not by virtue of its having been printed here, and credited 
with two species; for neither of the species is characterized. Bu 
when, a year later, Pursh described Hate as species of Amellus, they 
became recognizable. And immediately Rafinesque (Am. M. Mag.

It may be worth while to bring together the scietinitd in 
botanical literature to Sideranthus, which I am inclined to think 
dates from Pursh’s Flora (1814) :—

As will be seen from es ad synonymy, the two species e 
Sideranthus represented the genera Row generally known as Chry- 
sopsis and Aplopappus. If we follow the e American rule as to priority

even when it is called villosus. The synonymy of the plant is :—
