Ill. CERTAIN BORRAGINACEAE, NEW OR TRANSFERRED. 
By J. FRANcIs Macerivr. 
In the course of ordering up portions of the Borraginaceae at the 
Gray Herbarium it has become necessary from time to time to make 
new names and new combinations of names in order to have the work 
conform to the International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature. In 
addition, an attempt to classify the unnamed material in some of the 
groups has led to the discovery of a few species and varieties appar- 
ently undescribed. It seems advisable, therefore, to place these 
matters on record at this time. 
Tournefortia Miquelii, nom. nov.—T. syringaefolia Miquel, Stirp. 
Surin. 137 (1850), not 7. syringaefolia Vahl, Symb. Bot. iii. 23 (1794), 
a name which must be revived to replace the more generally used but 
later synonym 7. laurifolia Vent. Choix Pl. 2 (1803). 
Tournefortia Aubletii, nom. nov.— 7. glabra Aubl. Pl. Guian. i. 
118 (1775), not 7. glabra L. Sp. Pl. 141 (1753), which must replace 
T. cymosa L. Sp. Pl. ed. 2, 202 (1762). 
Heliotropium fragrans, nom. nov.— H. odorum (Fres.) Giirke, 
Nat. Pflanzenf. iv. Ab. 3, 96 (1893). Heliophytum odorum Fres. in 
Mart. Fl. Bras. viii. pt. 1, 45 (1857), not Heliotropium odorum Balf. 
f. Proce. Roy. Soc. Edinb. xii. 81 (1884). Article 53 of the Inter- 
national Rules states that: “When a species is moved from one genus 
into another, its specific epithet must be changed if it is already 
borne by a valid species of that genus.” Therefore H. odorum Fres. 
requires a new name on being transferred to Heliotropium because of 
the presence there of H. odorum Balf. f., a valid species which cannot, 
according to these rules, be renamed H. Balfouri as has been done by 
iirke, 1. c. 
Heliotropium foliosissimum, spec. nov., multicaule decumbens 
subgriseo-pubescens; radice et caudice lignescentibus atrobrunneis; 
caulibus 5-14 flexuosis gracilibus basi ad apicem aequabiliter foliosis- 
simus 3-12 em. longis; foliis elliptico-oblongis margine vix revolutis 
obtusis nunc alternis nunc suboppositis vel irregulariter dispositis 
5-10 mm. longis 2-4 mm. latis; racemis bracteatis brevibus; calycis 
laciniis oblongo-ovatis; corollae tubo calycem non superante; nuci- 
bus strigosis.— SourHerRN Mexico in the State of Oaxaca: Hacienda
