Blake — Revision of Polygala 111 
Hebecarpa, but the description (“ capsula . . . glaberrima ”’) does 
not apply to any known species of that group. 
P. capitata Sess. & Moc. Fl. Mex. II. ed. 163 (1894). Undeter- 
minable. 
P. chinensis L. Sp. i. 704 (1753). In Fl. Jam. 381 (1759) and in 
later publications Linnaeus included Patrick Browne’s Polyala 
no. 4 (Nat. Hist. Jam. 287 (1756)) under this species. It was un- 
doubtedly P. jamaicensis Chod. 
P. Conzattii Gand. Bull. Soc. Bot. Fr. Ix. 454 (1913), not Rose, 
Contr. U. 8. Nat. Herb. xiii. 307 (1911). This species, based on 
Conzatti & Gonzdlez 152, from Oaxaca, belongs to sect. Euhebe- 
carpa, but is not determinable from description. 
P. cruciata L., recorded by Bennett, 1. c. 202 (1879), and P. cru- 
ciata forma parva A. W. Benn. ex Hemsl. 1. c. 59 (1879), nomen, are 
P. conferta A. W. Bennett. 
P. diversifolia L.! Sp. ii. 703 (1753) is Securidaca volubilis L. 
P. domingensis Bert. ex Spreng. Sys. iii. 172 (1826) as syn. 
Badiera Berteriana Spreng., q. v. 
P. galioides Poir. Ency. v. 503 (1804). Recorded by Hemsl. 
1. c. 59 (1879), whose specimens are P. turgida Rose and P. subalata 
Wats. (Parry & Palmer 394) and P. aparinoides H. & A. (Beechey, 
Salvin & Godman). 
P. guatemalensis Gand. Bull. Soc. Bot. Fr. lx. 454 (1913), not 
A. W. Benn. (1895), based on T'uerckheim an. 1906, from Alta 
Verapaz, is probably P. costaricensis Chod. 
P. hebecarpa DC. Prod. i. 330 (1824). P. americana Mill. 8. 
hebecarpa (DC.) A. W. Benn. Journ. Bot. xvii. 139 (1879), as to syn. 
Santo Domingo, Nectoux. Considered by De Candolle as perhaps 
referable to P. ovata Poir., but referred by Chodat to P. caracasana 
HBK. If indeed identical with P. ovata as suggested by De Can- 
dolle, the species cannot be the same as P. caracasana. 
P. inaequiloba Turez. Bull. Soc. Nat. Mose. xxvii. no. 2. 349 
(1854), based on Galeotti 877 bis, is still dubious. 
P. mexicana DC. Prod. i. 333 (1824). Based on a plate in the 
inedited Fl. Mex. of Mocifio & Sesse (Calq. Dess. t. 40) which is 
almost certainly P. scoparia HBK. 
P. minutiflora Presl, Rel. Haenk. ii. 100 (1835-36). A still 
doubtful species. 
P. nemoralis A. W. Benn. Journ. Bot. xvii. 172 (1879). Based on 
three collections, the two Mexican and Central American being
