Typification and nomenclature of the names in the <scp><i>Santolina chamaecyparissus</i></scp> species complex (Asteraceae)

Abstract

Abstract A nomenclatural revision of the Santolina chamaecyparissus species complex is presented. A detailed survey of original material for all names applied to members of the complex was performed, and 28 names are newly typified. The current usage of the names S . villosa and S. ericoides , relating to some Spanish and French populations, is discussed. The name S . villosa is applied to a taxon endemic to Spain, whereas S. ericoides is applied to those Spanish and French populations often traditionally referred to S. villosa .
