SYNONYMS. 



It will be seen what confusion has gathered around E. viminalis. We have 

 few true synonyms, but a comparatively large number of reputed synonyms. The 

 true synonyms woidd appear to be :— 



1. E. angustifolia Desf. 



2. E. saeeharifera F.v.M. 



3. E. erucivalvis F.v.M. 



The reputed synonyms are :— 



1. E. diver sifolia Benth. non Bonpl, 



2. E. elata Dehn. (?). 



3. E. persieifolia Lodd. non DC. 



4. E. pilularis DC. non Sm. 



5. E. Huberiana Naudin (?). 



References will be given to the above names in sequence together with additional 

 notes on Bentham's synonymy. * ' 



1. E. angustifolia Desf. (quoted also as Spreng., et Candolle, and Link Envuru 

 ex. Spreng.). The original is :— " angustifolia, a feuill. etroites, N. Holl., 

 or." (Desf. Tall. Ecol. Bot. Ed. 1, 1804, p. 222.) 



Then we have :— 



" 227 E. angustifolia, Desfont. Par. Fol. subsessilia 2' 6" lga., 2" lata acutata 

 attenuata " (Link, Enum. Hort. Berol. ii, 30). Sprengel ii, 501, makes it a synonym 

 of E. saligna Sm. 



It is E. viminalis Labill. according to a specimen in Hort. Berol. examined by 

 me in 1900. 



The name E. angustifolia is preoccupied in any case, and the present synonym 

 is not important. But it is desirable to set down the evidence in regard to these old 

 names. 



2 and 3. E. saeeharifera F.v.M. and E. erucivalvis F.v.M. Following is an 

 extract from Miquel in Kruidk. Arch, iv, 125 : — 



E. viminalis, Labill. I.e. p. 12, Tab. 151. DC. Prod. I.e. 218, n. 15. 



E. saeeharifera, Ferd. Muller mss. 



E. erucivalvis ej. olim. 



" In humidis ad Onkaparinga m. Aug. Beagle Range, Lofty Range (F. Muller). 

 Tasmania (Stuart n. 7). Arbor procera, trunco cinereo albo recto."
