  the 
  new 
  genus 
  the 
  specific 
  name 
  was 
  changed 
  and 
  the 
  species 
  has 
  since 
  usually 
  been 
  

   known 
  as 
  Argania 
  sideroxylum 
  Roem. 
  and 
  Schult. 
  The 
  original 
  specific 
  name 
  is 
  here 
  

   restored 
  in 
  accordance 
  with 
  the 
  now 
  nearly 
  universal 
  custom. 
  

  

  The 
  name 
  Sideroxylon 
  spinosum 
  as 
  used 
  by 
  Linnaeus 
  in 
  the 
  Species 
  Plantarum 
  appears 
  

   to 
  have 
  included 
  two 
  distinct 
  plants, 
  the 
  one 
  under 
  consideration 
  here 
  and 
  that 
  usually 
  

   recognized 
  as 
  the 
  type, 
  being 
  the 
  one 
  represented 
  by 
  the 
  Plukenet 
  synonym, 
  but 
  not 
  

   the 
  Malabar 
  plant 
  referred 
  to 
  by 
  the 
  Rheede 
  citation. 
  The 
  species 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  

   been 
  originally 
  described 
  by 
  Linnseus 
  in 
  his 
  Hortus 
  ClifTortianus 
  from 
  a 
  garden 
  plant, 
  

   and 
  he 
  is 
  in 
  error 
  in 
  ascribing 
  India 
  as 
  its 
  habitat. 
  The 
  species 
  is 
  known 
  in 
  an 
  indig- 
  

   enous 
  state 
  only 
  in 
  Morocco.

  The 
  "cow 
  tree 
  of 
  South 
  America" 
  was 
  first 
  named 
  Galactodendrum 
  utile 
  by 
  Hum- 
  

   boldt, 
  Bonpland, 
  and 
  Kunth 
  (Nova 
  Genera 
  et 
  Species, 
  vol. 
  7, 
  p. 
  163) 
  in 
  1825. 
  In 
  

   1830 
  David 
  Don 
  (Sweet, 
  Hortus 
  Britannicus, 
  ed. 
  2, 
  p. 
  462) 
  placed 
  the 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  

   genus 
  Brosimum, 
  giving 
  it 
  the 
  name 
  B. 
  galactodendron, 
  which 
  in 
  1880 
  was 
  corrected 
  

   by 
  Karsten 
  (Deutsche 
  Flora, 
  p. 
  498) 
  to 
  Brosimum 
  utile. 
  The 
  generic 
  name 
  Brosimum 
  

   was 
  published 
  by 
  Swartz 
  (Nova 
  Genera 
  et 
  Species 
  Plantarum, 
  p. 
  12) 
  in 
  1788, 
  with 
  

   two 
  species, 
  B. 
  alicastrum 
  and 
  B. 
  spurium. 
  In 
  1775, 
  however, 
  Aublet 
  (Plantesde 
  

   la 
  Guiane 
  Francoise, 
  vol. 
  2, 
  p. 
  888, 
  pi. 
  340, 
  fig. 
  1) 
  published 
  the 
  genus 
  Piratinera 
  with 
  

   one 
  species, 
  P. 
  guianensis, 
  which 
  is 
  considered 
  to 
  be 
  congeneric 
  with 
  Brosimum 
  ali- 
  

   castrum 
  Swartz. 
  The 
  change 
  of 
  name 
  from 
  Brosimum 
  galactodendron 
  to 
  Piratinera 
  

   utilis 
  was 
  made 
  by
