Order LXXXVH. Sapotace^. 
Vol. a. p, 265, genus 6, Bassia, 7 tote :— 
Macbride in Contrib. from Gray's Herbarium, n.s. liii. p, 16 
points out that the name Bassia Koen. in Linn, Mantissa, ii. app. 
551 (1771) applied to the sapotaceous plant Bassia latifolia, was 
antedated by Allioni {1766), who used the name for a genus of 
ChenopodiacecB, therefore he has replaced the name Bassia by that 
of Madhuca, Hamilton in Gmelin Syst. ii. 1791, the earliest avail¬ 
able name for the genus, lllipe, Koenig in Von Muell. Extra Trop. pi. 
eds. 181 is excluded as never having been published by Koenig, 
This entails the substitution of Madhuca for Bassia, and the altera¬ 
tion of the names of the species on p. 266, to p. 272 as follows (see 
also note on p. 342) ;— 
(1) Bassia hirtiflora, Ridl., becomes Madhuca hirtifiora, Lam.
