● (syn. Passerina Ϯ Indigo Bunting P. cyanea) Late Med. L. linaria linnet; "‡Linaria ciris; the painted finch, or nonpareil. *L. cyanea; the blue linnet. ... Linaria ciris (emberiza ciris Linn.) or painted finch, or nonpareil of Catesby, is not seen North of Cape Fear, in North Carolina, and seldom ten miles from the sea coast, or perhaps twenty or thirty miles, near the banks of great river ... Linaria cyanea (tanagra Linn.) the blue linnet, is supposed by some to be the nonpareil, in an early stage of life, not being yet arrived to his brilliancy and variety of colours; but this is certainly a mistake, for the blue linnet is longer and of a slenderer configuration, and their notes more variable, vehement and sonorous." (Bartram 1792); "Linaria BARTRAM, Travels through Carolina, etc., 1791. p. — (London ed., 1792, pp. 289, 297) ... Type, Tanagra cyanea LINNAEUS. (Present designation.)" (Richmond 1917).
