Remarks

Willdenow did not cite the basionym; he provided a description and cited Humboltia parviflora Ruiz & Pav. as a synonym. However, S. polystachya has been presumed to be a new combination and treated as such (see Persoon Syn. Fl. 2(2): 524. 1807; Schltr., Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. Beih. 9: 137. 1921). Otherwise, S. polystachya would be an illegitimate replacement name for H. parviflora (see Shenzhen Code Art. 41 Ex. 13)
