Nomenclatural Notes
Status: nom. inval. Engelmann cited J. acuminatus Michx. as a synonym and thus included the type of J. acuminatus in var. legitimus. In such cases, ‘Infraspecific names with final epithets such as genuinus, originalis, originarius, typicus, verus, and veridicus … when purporting to indicate the taxon containing the type of the name of the next higher-ranked taxon, are not validly published …’ (Shenzhen Code Art. 24.3)
