retaining Beaucarnea as distinct from Dasylirion seems evident. 
In accord with this view the following species of Beaucarnea rep- 
resented in the Gray Herbarium are transferred. 
Dasylirion recurvatum (Lemaire), comb. nov. Beaucarnea re- 
curvata Lemaire, Ill. Hort. viii. misc. 61, pl. 1 (1861). 
Dasylirion strictum (Lemaire), comb. nov. Beaucarnea stricta 
Lemaire, Il]. Hort. viii. misc. 61 (1861). 
Dasylirion gracile (Lemaire), comb. nov. Beaucarnea gracilis 
Lemaire, Ill. Hort. viii. misc. 61 (1861). DD. avec (Brongn.)

It is apparent, from the statement in Recommendation ix of 
Article 26, International Rules, to the effect that “ it will be well, 
in the future, to avoid the use of the genitive and the adjectival 
form of the same name to designate two different species of the 
Same genus [for example Lysimachia Hemsleyana Maxim. (1891) 
and L. Hemsleyi Franch. (1895)]” that the genitive and adjectival 
forms of the same name are to be regarded as distinct and there- 
fore are both valid for different species of the same genus. This 
being the case it is not correct to accept the name A. Krausit 
Baker for the plant called originally M. Krausianum Kunth, since, 
as shown above, these specific epithets are to be treated as entirely 
distinct names.
