The name A. parviflora was used by Bernhardi, Del. Sem. Hort. 
Erf. 1833, for a South American species, but Bernhardi’s plant has’ 
been considered a synonym of A. angustifolia Lehm. Lehmann’s 
name appeared in a seed list (Del. Sem. Hort. Hamb. 7. 1832) but 
was not published until 1836 by Fischer and Meyer (Ind. Sem. 
Hort. Petrop. ii. 26) who cite A. parviflora as a synonym. Accord- 
ingly if Bernhardi’s name was accompanied by a diagnosis it 
should displace the later A. angustifolia Lehm. providing it is, as 
supposed, a synonym of the latter but it seems very probable that 
Del. Sem. Hort. Erf. (which I have not seen) is a seed list similar 
to Del. Sem. Hort. Hamb., with the names unaccompanied by 
descriptions. Of course on the other hand there is the possibility 
that Lehmann’s and Bernhardi’s plants were not the same, yet 
Reiche, Fl. de Chile v. 238 (1910), follows Fischer and Meyer’s 
treatment. Therefore, because of the uncertainty connected with 
the precise application of these names, it has not seemed necessary 
nor advisable to change at this time Mr. Heller’s well-chosen 
name for the North American plant.

in the throat or tube of the corolla, as illustrated by Miss Fast-
