Nomenclatural Notes

Status: nom. inval. Druce accepted Erythraea ramosissima Pers. and proposed Centaurion pulchellum (Sw,) Druce for the same species [Protologue: If Adanson's genus (Centaurion) be adopted, our plants will be Centaurion Centaurium and Centaurion pulchellum (Centaurium inapertum), Rafin. Danm. Fl. ii. 77 (1800).] Since only the name C. pulchellum was proposed anew, the Melbourne Code Art. 36.2 does not apply, and C. pulchellum cannot be taken as an alternative name to E. ramosissima.
