NOTES ON BOTANICAL NOMENCLATURE. 



GIOVANNI BATTISTA DE-TON I, 



AssisfcDif of Botany in the University of Padua, and Co-Editor of Xotarisia. 



In No. 289 of the 25th volume of the Journal of Botany (edited by 

 James Britten), I have, in collaboration with Dr. Pietro Voglino, 

 given some examples of generic names which are common to plants 

 and animals, and also seven instances of generic names which have 

 a double employ in the vegetable kingdom, viz.: — 



j Ante?i?iana Gaertn. (Compositae, 1791). 

 yA?tfe?inaria Link. (Fungi, 1809). 

 { Cha2ivinia Bory. (Chlorophyceae, 1828). 

 VChauvinia Steud. (Graminacece, 1854). 

 ^ CryptodiscHs Corda (Discomyceteae, 1838). 

 yCryptodisciis Schren. (Umbelliferae, 1841). 

 \ Cystophora J. Ag. (Melanophyce^e, 1841). 

 \Cystophora Rabenh. (Hyphomyceteae, 1844). 



{ Didyopteris Ivamour. (Dictyotaceae, \Zq^^ Halyseris Targ. Tozz.). 



\Dictyopteris Presl. (Filicaceae, 1836). 



^Helicophylliun Brid. (Hepaticae, 1827). 



yUelicophyllum Schott. (Aroideas, 1856). 



^ Lepioirichum Corda (Hyphomyceteae, 1842). 



yLepiot7-ichnm Hampe (Musci, 1847). 



I now offer another slight contribution, in the hope that the 

 newer duplicated names may be (in works of a general nature and in 

 monographs) changed in the manner indicated by me in the article 

 mentioned above, so that the confusion may be removed.
