Linnaei  Alyssum  Vesicaria  was  already  quoted  by  Boissiee,  1.  c., 
as  a synonym  to  his  Coluteocarpus  reticulatus,  and  that  he  was  right 
in  doing  so  is  fully  proved  by  Touknefort’s  description  and  flgures 
(Voyage  du  Levant,  II,  p.  252  [1717]),  referred  to  by  Linnaeus. 
When  Boissiee  did  not  make  use  of  the  oldest  existing  species- 
name,  it  was  probably  because  he  considered  its  combination  with 
Coluteocarpus  to  be  tautological,  but  according  to  the  now  prevailing 
rules  for  botanical  nomenclature  this  reason  is  not  sufficient.  When 
the  “Index  Kewensis”  refers  Alyssum  Vesicaria  L.  as  a synonym 
to  Vesicaria  utriculcita  DC.,  this  is  an  evident  mistake,  as  neither 
Linnaei  description  nor  the  figure  given  by  Touenefoet  has  any 
resemblance  with  V.  utriculata.
