Blake — New and Noteworthy Compositae 35 
tion of Sanvitaliopsis by Dr. Greenman in place of Grypocarpha in 
1905, before the International Rules were in force, can not affect 
the validity of the name. The three known species are: 
GrypocaRPHA Liebmannii (Klatt), comb. nov. — Zinnia Lieb- 
mannii [“‘ Benth. & Hook.’’] Klatt! Leopoldina xxiii. 89 (reprint 
2) (1887). Sanvitaliopsis Liebmannii Sch. Bip. ex Klatt 1.c., as 
syn.; Greenm. Proc. Am. Acad. xli. 261 (1905).— The proper 
authority for the specific name of this species would seem to be 
that of Klatt, who first described the plant. The authority for 
the name given by Klatt has of course no real existence, as is the 
case with so many others of the names currently ascribed to Ben- 
tham & Hooker; and since the manuscript name used by Schultz 
Bipontinus was published only in synonymy, a proper interpre- 
tation of the International Rules regarding synonyms leads to its 
neglect. The only known collection of this species has been the 
original, that by Liebmann (no. 552), at Rio Taba, in Oaxaca (?); 
but to it is clearly referable Heyde & Lux 3815, from Santa Rosa, 
Guatemala, which was distributed as Viguiera dentata Spreng., 
the latter a true Viguiera in no way related to this species.
