Caribseum, p. 19, 1760), quite disregarding the fact that Loefling had previously pub- 

 lished the name Gaura fruticosa for this species. In accordance with nomenclatorial 

 usage, it is necessary to adopt the earliest specific name, fruticosa. 



33982. Alegria divaricata (^lartius) Stuntz. 



{Liihea divaricata Martins, Nova Genera et Species, vol. 1, p. 101, 1824.) 

 Seeds of this tiliaceous tree from Guiana were received under the name Liihea 

 divaricata Mart. The generic name Liihea was first used in 1793 by F. W. Schmidt 

 (Neue und Seltene Pflanzen, p. 23), for a verbenaceous genus, thus invalidating the 

 Willdenovian tiliaceous Luehea, published in 1801 (Neue Schriften Gesellschaft 

 Natiu^orschende Freunde Berlin, vol. 3, p. 410). The next name given the genus is 

 Alegria, published in 1824 by De CandoUe (Prodromus, vol. 1, p. 516) with a single 

 species, A. Candida. This is recognized as congeneric with the present plant and the 

 generic name Alegria is therefore adopted. 



33998. Philibertella riparia (Decaisne) Stuntz. 



{Sarcostemma riparium Decaisne, in De Candolle, Prodromus, vol. 8, p. 

 540, 1844.) 



Seeds of this asclepiadaceous climber from Brazil were received under the name 

 Philihertia riparia (Decaisne) Malme (Bulletin de I'Herbier Boissier, ser. 2, vol. 3, p. 

 63, 1902). Miss Anna Miuray Vail has shown (Bulletin, Torrey Botanical Club, vol. 

 24, p. 305, 1897) that the generic name Philibertia as applied here must be replaced 

 by Philibertella. The plant in question was originally described by Decaisne as 

 Sarcostemma riparium, which is here made the basis of the new combination, Phili- 

 bertella riparia. 



34014. Salix chilensis Mol. 



This tree has been listed in previous numbers of these inventories as Salix hum- 

 holdtiana Willd. The earliest name given to the species, however, was Salix chilensis 

 given by Molina (Saggio suUa Storia Naturale del Chili, p. 137, 1782). 



34020. Daubentonia tripetii Poiteau. 



The genus Daubentonia is generally considered as a subgenus of Sesban, but an 

 examination of the seeds and pods shows sufficient differences to warrant us in follow- 

 ing Dr. John K. Small in retaining it as a distinct genus. 



34025. Strophopappus speciosus (Less.) Stuntz. 



{Vemonia speciosa Less., Linnsea, vol. 4, p. 290, 1829.) 

 {Stilpnopappus speciosus (Less.) Baker, in Martins, Flora Brasiliensis, 

 vol. 6, pt. 2, p. 138, 1876.) 

 Seeds of this asteraceous Brazilian species have been received under the name 

 Stilpnopappus speciosus (Less.) Baker. The genus Stilpnopappus was published by 

 Martins in De Candolle (Prodromus, vol. 5, p. 75, 1836), but the genus Strophopappus 

 was published on the same page above the Stilpnopappus publication. Inasmuch as 

 the two are recognized as congeneric, the earlier name should be used. 



34030. TiPUANA Tipu (Bentham) Lillo. 



{Machaerium (Tipuana) tipu Benth., Hook. Journal, Botany, vol. 5, p. 

 267, 1853.) 



Seeds of this Bolivian mimosaceous tree were received under the name Tipuana 

 speciosa Benth. (Journal, Linnean Society of Botany, vol. 4, Supplement, p. 72, 1860), 

 with the citation of Bentham's own Machaerium ( Tipuana) tipu. That this earlier
