nudum), but “Index Kewensis” gives the place of publication as volume four of the 
second, edition of Aiton’s “Hortus Kewensis,” the date of which is given by Pritzel 
as 1812; this proves to be a valid publication and, if the dates are correct, then 
Flemingia has priority over Moghania. The case is not covered by the list of 
nomiria conservanda of the Vienna Botanical Congress, although DeDalla Torre 
& Harms in their “Genera Siphonogamarum” accept Flemingia Roxb. in preference 
to Moghania St. Hil., giving the date of publication of the former as 1812.

by Blanco, as they all seem to be cultivated forms of this variable species.
