LECTOTYPIFICATION AND AUTHORSHIP OF SPHAGNUM FITZGERALDII (SPHAGNACEAE)

Abstract

  Evidence is offered that Cardot's name was inadvertently omitted in the protologue of Sphagnum fitzgeraldii. The authorship should be Renauld & Cardot instead of Renauld. A specimen in one of three packets of this moss in the Cardot Herbarium (PC) is designated the lectotype.
