Remarks

Bertoni intended to publish Ananas microcephalus as a new combination, cited the authorship as “(Bak.) Bertoni” and the basionym as “Ananas sativus Lindl., var. microœphalus Baker (Handb. Bromel., 23),” and provided a description. The name “Ananas sativus Lindl., var. microœphalus Baker” did not exist, and thus Bertoni inadvertently published A. microcephalus as the name of a new species
