Nomenclatural Notes
Status: nom. inval. Raz lectoypified the name Rajania wrightii Uline ex R.Knuth 1917 and proposed “D. confusa” as a replacement name for R. wrightii [non D. wrightii Uline ex R. Knuth 1917]. Unfortunately, her lectotypification excluded the original type material of R. wrightii, and therefore Raz’s intended new name “D. confusa” was inadvertently published as a new species name. Since Raz used the term lectotype (not type or holotype), the name “D. confusa” was not validly published (see Melbourne Code Art. 40 Ex. 5, 48.1)
