Tittmannia monticola Spreng., Syst. 2: 800. 1825. “Carolina bor. (Lin- 
ernia monticola Nutt.).” a name of Nuttall was a nomen n : 
and Nuttall (Gen. Am. 1: 1818) says, perhaps due to a typographic 
slip, “from the hills of New Hampshire.” But that the name montico 
was in use before the date of Sprengel’s publication is proven by the 
existence of old specimens labeled ‘“ Lindernia monticola,” collected by 
Schweinitz probably in North Carolina. Such a specimen, in the her- 
misban! of Columbia University at the New York Botanical Garden, is 
robably an isotype of T. monticola, and 7 I ape refracta.
