  Bichea

  (Beauv.) 
  W.

  Kola 
  nut. 
  

  

  The 
  genus 
  Cola 
  was 
  published 
  by 
  Schott 
  and 
  Endlicher 
  (Meletemata 
  Botanica, 
  p. 
  

   33, 
  1832) 
  with 
  six 
  species, 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  first 
  is 
  Cola 
  acuminata, 
  based 
  on 
  Sterculia 
  

   acuminata 
  Beauv. 
  (Flore 
  d'Oware, 
  p. 
  41, 
  pi. 
  24, 
  1804). 
  But 
  in 
  1812 
  the 
  genus 
  Bichea 
  

   was 
  established 
  by 
  Stokes 
  (Botanical 
  Materia 
  Medica, 
  vol. 
  2, 
  p. 
  564) 
  with 
  one 
  species, 
  

   B. 
  solitaria, 
  which 
  is 
  considered 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  Sterculia 
  acuminata 
  of 
  Beauvois. 
  

   The 
  generic 
  name 
  Cola 
  must 
  therefore 
  be 
  replaced 
  by 
  Bichea, 
  which 
  has 
  priority 
  by 
  

   20 
  years. 
  The 
  correction 
  of 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  Kola 
  nut 
  from 
  Cola 
  acuminata 
  to 
  Bichea 
  

   acuminata 
  was 
  made 
  by 
  Mr. 
  W. 
  F. 
  Wight 
  in 
  the 
  Century 
  Dictionary 
  and 
  Cyclopedia 
  

   (vol. 
  11,
