Dr* John K. Small New York Botanical Garden Bronx Park, Dear Small June 14th, 1928 I would say that the type-species of Jatronha L* is Jatronha Manihot L* It is the only species given by Linnaeus answering his description of Jatropha. The generic description of Linnaeus dates hack to the first edition of the Genera Plantarum (1737) Ho* 721 p* 288* He cited Manihot of Tournefort pi* 438* His de- scription calls for a plant wit$i only one floral envelope and with *capsula subrotunda tricocea trilocularis, loculis bivalvibuswith corolla tube »brevissimus*11 This is answered by Jatropha Maniho-L which is Tournefort!s plant* (See Pflan»DiSich IV 14? II p* 67-8) He also cited Dillenius pi* 173* This is L*^ it has two sets of floral organs highly developed* He also cited Jus sienna Houst* This finally became Jàtroéha herbacea L* He made special remarks about its pe culiarities (Gen * PI* Ed* 1 p* 384? Hort. Cliff* p* 445)* He also made special remarks about Jatronha urens (Gen* PI* Id. 5 p* 437) Neither of these plants ha# ^ a corolla tube ^brevissimus*11 The species given by him in the first edition of the Species Plantarum in order are (1) gossvplfolia (2) moluccana (3) Curcas (4) mult if Ida (5) Manihot (6) urens (V herbacea* The first four have sepals and petals well-developed and do not agree with the Linnaean generic description. The last two disagree, I believe, from his description of the capsules, which seem? to have been taken from Tournefort1 s figure, and also the corolla tube (Pflanaanieich IV 147 p. 97)* Manihot esculenta Crantz Richard P.
