The name Anisophyllea waa first given to thia genm by Robert Bi'owrjj ivlio 
howe'For publialied no descriptEoii of it. In 1823, Sabine (in a paper published in 
the Trans. Hort. Soc. Land.) first used it in giving a popnltir description of a phmt 
from Sierra Leone nntler tbe name A, laiirina. Overlooking this publication, 
Don founded for thnt very plant the gentiH Anisophylliun, and named it AnisO' 
phyllum laurinum, nnd tliia name wag pnbliftiied in 1349 in Hookor'a Niger Flora, M2. 
In the addenda and corrigenda to that volnme, Don'a name Es however redticed and 
^rown'a is reatored* Baillon {in ^tittnisonici. HI, 24 and 36,) appliod tlie generic nam© 
Anisophyllum to throe plants of wbiuh the proaent species ia one. Uat, in li snb- 
soqnent volume of /itffiiiitoiita (XI, 310 and 378) and in bis Siatnire dea Plautes
