By common consent, the Latin name of a plant, 

 in order to be considered by botanists, must first be 

 regularly published by a reputable author in a rep- 

 utable book or periodical. As an index to this 

 name, the name of its author is published with it 

 whenever an accurate account of the species is 

 given. Thus, Abelia Chinensis, E. Br., means that 

 this name was made by Robert Brown. This cita- 

 tion at once distinguishes Robert Brown's Abelia 

 Chinensis from any other Abelia Chinensis ; for it is 

 possible that some other author may have given 

 this name to some other plant, — in which case the 

 older name must stand. Thus, the Abelia serrata of 

 Siebold & Zuccarini is not the A. serrata of Nich- 

 olson. In some cases, the fact that there are two 

 plants passing under one name is indicated in the 

 citation: Abelia rwpesim, Hort., not Liudl., means 

 that the rupestris of horticulturists is not the rtcpes- 

 tris of Lindley. "Hort." means that the particular 

 name is one in use amongst horticulturists, — that 

 it is a garden name. 



The citation of authorities gives a clue to the 

 time and place of publication of the species. It is
