Schulz’s monograph (p.622) this species is called C. Vargasii D@; - 
and C. sylvestre is synonymized with C. surinamense L. There an 
in the British Museum two sheets of Chibadium from Aublet, “ " 
of which has been marked by Dryander as Bailleria aspera Aub _ 
(Hist. ii. 804, t. 317 (1775)), the other being labelled Baillera 
sylvestris Aubl. (1.c. 807) in an unidentified hand. The first 
these is identical with C. Vargasii DC., the second with C. sur” — 
mense LL. But when careful comparison is made with the descrip- 
tions and plate of Aublet, the conclusion seems unavoidable that y 
the names written on the sheets have in some way been trans 1 
and that the type of B. sylvestris Aubl. is in reality the plant le 
belled B. aspera by Dryander. The leaves of the specimeD 
labelled B. sylvestris agree much better with those shown in plate [ 
317 (B. aspera) of the Histoire in shape and toothing, and are dis- a 
tinctly scabrous as contrasted with the nearly smooth leaves of s 
the other specimens (i. e., those labelled B. aspera), which is 00 — 
of the chief diagnostic features attributed to B. aspera by Aublet ~ 
It seems necessary to disregard the labels on the sheets, not writte? — 
by Aublet himself, and follow the characters considered essential 
by him, which leads to the consideration of the sheet marked 
Bailleria aspera by Dryander as the type of B. sylvestris, and the — 



adoption of the name Clibadium sylvestre (Aubl.) Baill. for the .
