428 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 



contains many Hermaphrodite Florets ; in the Centre of each of these 

 arises the Ovary, which is crown'd with Hairs, and is supported by a 

 naked Placenta ; these are all contained in a scaly Cup, which consists 

 of dry Membranes, and is, for the most part of a splendid Colour. 

 The species are : — 1, Elichrysum, seu stoechas citrina angustifolia, C. 

 B. Goldy locks, or Cassidony. Then follow 36 other species. It is 

 the Helichrysum of Gaertner of 1791. If the example of Dr A. 

 Thellung, who chooses the hap-hazard binomials used in Garsault's 

 work on Materia Medica of 1764, of which he has made so complete 

 and masterly examination be followed, some names attributed to 

 Garsault must give place to those used some years earlier by Miller 

 and Hill, and some additional ones in their works come into the area 

 of citation, but it seems undesirable to cite accidental binomials from 

 works in which that principle of nomenclature was not consistently 

 adopted. Fortunately so far as alteration of generic names is involved, 

 in adopting Miller's work of 1754, there are but few which are needed. 

 In some cases these are already barred by the Actes which con- 

 serves the later names, thus being inconsistent with the law of 

 priority. The following names, inter alia, appear to have been first 

 definitely applied and characterised by Miller {I.e.). Alyssoides, 

 Asteriscus, Bulbocastanum y Cannabina, Capnorchis, Capnoides, 

 Citrullus, Elephas and Guidonia. Eliehrysum and Silaum are but 

 variations in spelling of Helichrysum and Silaus.
