PRIORITY OF PLACE IN BOTANICAL NOMENCLATURE.
By N. L. Britton, M.D.
The publication of my note in the October ' Journal of Botany'
giving my reasons for taking up the generic name Tissa instead of
Buda for the plants referred by recent authors to Lepigunum or
SpergiUaria, and the comments thereon by the learned Editor, have
put my position on this question squarely on record. I was sorry
to have to take the means I did in order to induce him to print my
communication, but I desired that my views should be given place
in an English botanical journal, as well as in those of America.
Mr. Britten, regarding my reasons as trivial, was justitied, from
his own standpoint, for declining to awaril them space in the
" Journal," and his relus.il, at first, to publish them has in no way
dimniislicd my regard for liini.
But I do not believe tliat my reasons will be'considered ridiculous
by others who approach the topic from a different standpoint, and
who have recognised the necessity of adopting methods of procedure
