Bothriospermum Bunge, as arranged and characterised by Bentham, Gen. PL,
would appear to have essentially the same carpological strueture as the typical Plagioboihrys,
and therefore to supersede the latter. But this comes from one of the very
rare oversights of the late Mr. Bentham, who, unmindful of the correct description by
Bunge and afterwards by De Candolle and Maximowicz, misstook the ventral false
umbilicus for the areola of insertion, which is basal. Tbis mistake remains uncorrected
in the Flora of British India." Auch in die > Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien« ist der Irrtum
übergegangen. Die Gattung gehört zweifellos zu den Lithospermeen.
