not inserted the reference to Flora Zeylanica , the accepted 

 f name Pterocarpus would be validated by reference to the 



Rumphian plate 70 in vol. 2 called Lingonum by Rumphius . 



Another generic name validly published by Linnaeus is 

 Myr istica (p. 8) which is listed in the right hand (Linnaean) 

 ft column in Roman type and is validated by reference to Nux 



Myristica Rumphius, plate 4 of vol . 2. Myristica L. 

 (1754) replaces the conserved Myr istica Gronov. (1755). 

 The latter name should be deleted from the list of Nomina 

 Conservanda since its conservation serves no purpose. 



The generic name Lens (p. 18) is validly published, 

 as is the binomial Lens phaseoloides , by reference to Faba

k&^^ Lens, published in May, 1754, is antedated by Lens Miller 



(Jan. 17 54) . 



There are four generic names which might be con:sidered 

 as accepted by Linnaeus, although they do not appear in the 

 right hand column: Canarium , Casuarina (misspelled as 

 Casaar ina ) , Pandanus and Globba . Each of these is the 

 subject of a footnote. Article 34 requires that a name be 

 accepted by an author in order to be validly published. 

 Had these generic names appeared in the right hand column 

 in Roman type, like Pterocarpus , Muristica , and Lens , there 

 would be no doubt that they were acc epted by Linnaeus. 

 Because they do not appear in the right hand column, I do 

 not consider that Linnaeus accepted these generic names, 

 rather the footnotes only represent incidental comments by
