ADDITIONAL NOTES AND CORRECTIONS TO DESCRIPTIONS IN BULLETIN 278
Philomèle, page 254. " Miss Brice " should be added as a synonym.
[The plants seen under the name "Miss Brice" are Philomèle; but it is not at all certain these were the same as the original Miss Brice, introduced by Kelway as one of their seedlings, and it is very likely that the true Miss Brice will be found to be a distinct variety and not a synonym. This is an example of many similar cases in which a name may be mistakenly classed as a synonym, because the plant we found so labeled may not be correct. It is as if we should come across a pink peony labelled Festiva Maxima that was identical with Edulis Superba, and should conclude that Festiva Maxima was a synonym of Edulis Superba. B. H. Farr.]
