Nomenclatural Notes
Status: nom. illeg. later homonym non Salisb. (1806) [Protologue: The genus name Cymburus Salisb. (1806) is typified by S. mutabilis Salisb. Rafinesque used ‘Cymburus Salisb.’ and mentioned ‘Type, C. squamosus Raf. Stach. do Vahl- &.c. … — Verbena squamosa Jaq. ic. South American Shrub with very different habit. Cymburus was applied by Salisbury to all the Tarphetas, I restrict it to this type and akin if any.’ Rafinesque’s remark (‘I restrict it to this type and akin if any’) is treated here as an expression of exclusion of the type of Salisbury’s name (C. mutabilis)]
