Nomenclatural Notes
Status: nom. inval. Giardina & Raimondo proposed Limonium usticanum as a “nom. nov.” and based it on Statice ambigua fo. major Lojac., Fl. Sicul. 2(2): 27 (1904) non Limonium ambiguum (Rouy) P. Fourn. (sic). Lojacono, however, did not publish Statice ambigua f. major, but described S. ambigua in the locality Ustica as forma major pulcherrima. Although Giardina & Raimondo referred to the preceding Latin description, they did not cite or indicate a holotype. Therefore, the name L. usticanum was not validly published as a sp. nov.
