■ Mss. in Gray, Plant® Lindheimerianse (Boston Journ. Nat. Hist., VI, No. II, 177, 1850). The history 

 of this name is somewhat perplexing. Asa Gray (1. c.) described this species as follows: " Cercis occidentalis 

 (Torr. ined.). Var. floribus etiam paulo tninoribus foliis supra nilidioribus. C. reniformis, Engelm. Mss." 

 C. S. Sargent did not believe Cercis reniformis Engelmann to have been thus formally established for the 

 Texas Redbud. He therefore renamed the tree Cercis Texensis, Sargent (Gard. and For., IV, 448, 1891). 

 I am, however, convinced that Dr. Gray thus intended to establish Cercis reinformis Engelmann and 

 actually did it by citing the name in connection with his description of the plant.
