A new name in southern African Justicia L. (Acanthaceae)
BACKGROUND: Ongoing systematic studies in the African flora necessitate periodic nomenclatural adjustments and corrections. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to effect requisite nomenclatural changes. METHOD: Relevant literature was consulted and type specimens were examined. RESULTS: One nomenclatural correction is required in Justicia L. (Acanthaceae). CONCLUSION: The replacement name Justicia conferta J.C.Manning & Goldblatt is provided for the illegitimate homonym Justicia densiflora (Hochst.) J.C.Manning & Goldblatt, and the validity of the combination Justicia andromeda (Lindau) J.C.Manning & Goldblatt is clarified.
