CERTAIN BORRAGINACEAE. 543 
Omphalodes lateriflora (Aubrey), comb. nov.— Cynoglossum 
lateriflorum Aubrey, Prog. Morb. x. 25 (1801-1803). 0. littoralis 
Lehm. Neue Schrift. Nat. Fr. Berl. viii. 98 (1818). 
Solenanthus turkestanicus (Reg. & Smirn.), comb. nov.— Kus- 
chakewiczia turkestanica Regel & Smirn. Act. Hort. Petrop. v. 626 
(1877). Solenanthus Kuschakewiczi Lipsky, Act. Hort. Petrop. xxiii. 
182 (1904). As Lipsky has well shown, this plant possesses no charac- 
ters which justify its being maintained as a genus distinct from Sole- 
nanthus Ledeb. He, however, as indicated above, failed to retain 
the original specific name. 
Solenanthus stamineus (Desf.), comb. nov.— Cynoglossum stami- 
neum Desf. Ann. Mus. Par. x. 431 (1807). Solenanthus Tournefortii 
DC. Prod. x. 164 (1846). DeCandolle rightly gives Cynoglossum 
stamineum Bieb. Fl. Taur.-Cauce. iii. 127 (1819) a new name under 
Solenanthus, namely S. Biebersteinii, but there seems to be no need 
for discarding the much earlier C. stamineum of Desfontaines. 
appula laxa (G. Don), comb. nov.— Cynoglossum laxum G. Don 
Gen. Syst. iv. 356 (1838). C. uncinatum Royle ex Benth. in Royle, 
Ill. i. 305 (1839). Echinospermum glochidiatum A. DC. Prod. x. 136 
(1846). Paracaryum glochidiatum Benth. ex Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. 
iv. 161 (1885). Rindera glochidiata Wall. Cat. no. 926, nomen nudum. 
DeCandolle (1. ¢.) was the first to assign this plant to its proper genus, 
but it had been previously published by George Don as indicated 
above. It is of interest that the specimens in the Gray Herbarium are 
marked “Good Echinospermum” in Dr. Gray’s handwriting. 
LappuLta Repowsku (Hornem.) Greene, var. Karelini (Fisch. & 
Mey.), comb. nov.— Echinospermum Karelini Fisch. & Mey. Ind. Sem. 
Hort. Petrop. xi. 67 (1846). E. Redowskii (Hornem.) Lehm., var. 
Karelini (Fisch. & Mey.) Regel, Act. Hort. Petrop. vi. 341 (1880). 
As indicated by Regel (I. c.), like the typical form of the species, but 
aving the sides and faces of the nutlets nearly or quite smooth. e 
related American species, L. texana (Scheele) Britton, shows a varia- 
tion analogous to this. 
Lappula omphaloides (Schrenk), comb. nov.— Echinospermum 
omphaloides Schrenk, Bull. phys.-math. Acad. Sci. St.-Pétersb. iii. 
211 (1845). I must concur in the opinion expressed by Lipsky, 
Act. Hort. Petrop. xxvi. 567 (1910), that this is a good species of the 
genus Lappula (Echinospermum). The correct combination, how- 
ever, does not seem to have been made. 
Allocarya glabra (Gray), comb. nov.— Lithospermum glabrum 
Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. xvii. 227 (1882). Allocarya salina Jepson,
