Phytologia 91(3): 439 {December, 2009).
The recently described Ageratma pochittlana B.L. Turner
(Phytologia 90: 359. 2008) is illegitimate because of the earlier A.
pochutlami B.L. Turner (2006). This is a lapse, no doubt occasioned by
my aging forgetfulness. The two taxa are both from the Distrito
Pochutla, but belong to different subgenera ofAgeratina: the earlier to
subgenus Neogreenella, the latter to subgenusAgeratina.
The following is proposed forthe superfluous name:
Ageratina lapsensis B.L. Turner, nom. nov.
Based upon Ageratinapochutlana B.L. Turner, Phytologia 90: 359.
2008.
Not Ageratinapochutlana B.L. Turner, Lundellia 9: 3. 2006.
It should be noted that the day of collection on the type
specimen of A. lapsensis should be 1 1 Mar instead of 3 Nov (a
misrepresentation of3/1 1 in my original reading).
