The trivial name changed, with change in the generic name.— 
There are acca one hundred and seventy instances ; for example :—

n. 1 (1762) ; Syst. ed. 13, p. 68, n 1 (1774). 
In a few of the instances the frat name was changed in order 
to avoid confusion with the name of another species. 
n a very few of the instances a new binomial has been formed 
in order to restore the — 468 sae Ai for example :— 
Kurnorsia viminauis, Sp. Pl. ed. 1, p. 452, n. 9 (1758); Sp. Pl.

3. The trivial name retained, with change of the generic name.— 
There are about two hundred and ie songs oe xample :-— 
Triticum caninum, Sp. Pl. ed. 7 (17 58) = Elymus

Pl. ed. 2, p. 124, n. 8 (1762) ; Syet. ed. 13, p. 107, n. 8 (1774). 
There is no instance of the principle of akan so exercised 
as to make the trivial name identical with the generic; to avoid 
such a result the trivial name is always changed. 
Trifling changes in ath trivial name.—There are about one 
ie and seventy instances ; for example : 
YOSOTIS VIRGINIANA, Sp. PI. 0a ‘ P “ait n.2 (1753) = Myosotis 
virginica, Sp. Pl. ed. 2, p. 189, n. 2 (76
