Transfer of Polianthes geminiflora into Agave (Asparagaceae): New combinations (Nomenclature of Agave II)

Abstract

To accommodate the inclusion of Polianthes into Agave, which is strongly supported by molecular phylogenetic studies, four new combinations for the transfer of Polianthes geminiflora and its infraspecific taxa are proposed. A lectotype is selected for Coetocapnia geminiflora, and a neotype for Robynsia geminiflora. © 2013 BGBM Berlin-Dahlem.
