tis Zinniae.” The first adequate description and publication of the name 
was in 1887, when Klatt published a careful diagnosis of the Liebmann 
plant under Zinnia Liebmannii, Benth. & Hook. f., citing Sanvitaliopsis 
Liebmannii, Schz. Bip., as a synonym. On this description of Klatt the 
genus Sanvitaliopsis must rest. 
The essential characters of the plant in question are such that it does 
not seem to the writer to have been correctly referred to Zinnia where 
Bentham and Hooker, f., placed it. The narrow attenuated bracts of the 
involucre, the uncinate-tipped pales, as well as the habit are all greatly at 
variance with Zinnia ; indeed these differences are so well marked that 
our only course is to accept Sanvitaliopsis to generic rank, as a member 
of the subtribe Zinnieae. The recently described Grypocarpha, Greenm., 
is unquestionably congeneric with Sanvitaliopsis, but represents a second 
species of the Schultz Bipontinus genus. The complete synonymy with 
citation of specimens may be given as follows : —
