Montanoa atriplicifolia  

Verbesina atriplicifolia Pers., Syn. PI. 2: 472. 1807. Type: Hort.ltal. (holotype, P?; non-flowering isotype, FI!). Persoon often used Jussieu's herbarium (Stafleu, 1967) which is now at Paris. No possible holotypes were found in the loan material from P and Persoon's descliption is cryptic. It would not be possible to place this species except that lussieu and Desfontaines published a better descIiption (Colla, 1824), synonymy, and a drawing, and attributed the species to Persoon. The drawing is somewhat questionable, however, as the rays are too blunt for Montanoa, and they have well-developed stigmas. Although there is still some doubt, the evidence is sufficient to warrant recognition of this name. Eriocoma atriplicifolia(Pers.) Kuntze, Rev. Gen. PI. 1: 336. 1891.

Clerodendron phlomoides Juss. & Desf. in Lamarck, Hort. Ital. 8: 460. 1808, nom. nnd. pro syn.

Montanoa dumicola Klatt in Durand & Pittier, Bull. Soc. Roy. Bot. Belgique (Brussels) 31: 200. 1882. Type: COSTA RICA, San Jose, hedgerow on the "llanos de Alajuelila," 1100 m, I Dec 1889, H. Pillier 1454 (holotype, GH! isotypes, BR[2J! G! US!).

Montanoa pauciflora Klatt, Leopoldina 23: 90. 1887. Type: "Middle America ... in Herb. Klatt." (holotype not located). The most likely place for this specimen is GH. However, the types as well as the general collections of Montanoa have been searched to no avail. Coreopsis trilobata Vahl ex Klatt, Leopoldina 23: 90. 1887, nom. nud. pro syn. This is listed as the type of M. pallciflora Klatt in the type description. The types as well as the general collections at GH have been checked for this specimen (in litt., M. Calloso) but it has not been located. The possibility exists that the specimen will be located at a later date; a neotype has not been selected.
