NOTES. — Vahl realised after the printing, but before publication of the first volume of his book, that the name Billardiera was already in use for another genus ( Billardiera Sm. 1793 ). In his foreword, he therefore proposed the new name Froelichia Vahl , wherewith he invalidated all the species’ names described under Billardiera . Furthermore, none of the new combinations in Froelichia were validly published in 1797, because no association was made between genus name and specific epithets. In fact, validation of Vahl’s binomials occured when the index in the last volume was published (1807), but this was after Willdenow’s publication of F.paniculata . Coussarea paniculata is based on the invalid F. paniculata Vahl , but this is an indirect reference to the valid F. paniculata Willd. The descriptions and names of C. froelichia and C. macrocarpa in Candolle (Sept. 1830: 494) came from Richard (Dec. 1830: 177), the text of which Candolle had seen a preprint version. Both names are thus to be ascribed to Richard alone (not “A.Rich. ex DC.”).
