The genus was united by Linnæus with Picris, but has been again separated by modern botanists. 1640. Myoseris. So named from μuς μuoς, a mouse, and σερiς, lettuce ; a name invented for the purpose of maintaining a resemblance in nomenclature with Hyoseris, Lagoseris, and other similar plants. 1641. Tolpis. A name invented by Adanson, ahd supposed to have no meaning. Handsome annual flowers. 1642. Andryala. A name, the meaning of which has not been discovered. Rather pretty plants, natives of the south of Europe and north of Africa. 1643. Rothia. Named by Schreber, in honor of Dr. A. G. Roth, author of a Flora Germanica, in 1788, Catalecta Botanica, in 1797, and other works. It has been united with Andryala by Richard. 1644. Krigia. Named after Dr. Krieg, a German botanist, who accompanied Mr. Vernon to America in search of plants. See Vernonia. A pretty little North American plant, with grassy leaves and bright yellow neat flowers.
