abstract

  • The complex nomenclature of the Cuban endemic palm Copernicia macroglossa Schaedtler is revisited. The research involved looking into six validly published names and resulted in a revision of the lectotypification of C. ×macroglossa H.Wendl. ex Becc. (accepted name C. ×escarzana León) and a reevaluation of previous typification accounts for C. ×escarzana León, C. ×burretiana León, and C. torreana León.
