MANNING, John C.. A new name in southern African Justicia L. (Acanthaceae). Bothalia (Online) [online]. 2019, vol.49, n.1, pp.1-2. ISSN 2311-9284.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/abc.v49i1.2380.

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.
