Gouldia terminalis — WlLBUR 
423 
Skottsberg (1944 a, b) has expressed the opinion 
that there are at least several times as many 
species as accepted by Fosberg, and he has pro- 
vided binomials for a number of them by ele- 
vating certain of Fosberg’s varieties and forms 
in addition to accepting some binomials of 
earlier authors. And, recently, the Degeners 
(1961) have also expressed a different view 
and, in so doing, provided 22 new combinations 
largely as a result of elevating Fosberg’s taxa to 
the next highest rank. Therefore, it would not 
seem desirable to make wholesale transfers at 
the present time.
