The type species is designed by Rafinesque as Hypogon anisa- 

 tum (Sims) Raf. I.e. (Collinsonia anisata Sims. Bot.

Cacalia rotundifolia (Raf.) comb. nov. 

 The name of the Great Indian plantain, Cacalia reniformis 

 Muhl. (in Willd. Sp. PI. 73 : 1753. 1804) is invalidated by an earlier 

 Cacalia reniformis Lam. Fl. Fr., 2: 75. 1778. For this 

 reason the species was renamed Senecio muhlenbergiiby 

 Schultz Bipontinus (Flora, 28:499. 1S45). Rafinesque took up the 

 name of Muhlenberg's in Mesadenia (M .reniformis Raf.) but 

 also gave the same plant another name, Mesadenia rotundifolia 

 Raf. (New FL, 4: 79. 1836), which becomes the available name 

 where the species is regarded as a member of the segregated genus 

 Mesadenia.
