121. Euphorbia rubrostriata Drake var. rubrostriata

Bulletin du Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle 9 (1): 44 (1903) (as “ rubro-striata ”). — Type: “Mont de la Table, septembre 1901 ”, Grandidier s.n. (holo-, not located).

REMARK

Originally published as “ rubro-striata ”, but corrected to “ rubrostriata ” according to McNeill et al. (2006: Art. 60.9).

The exact application of this name remains dubious as the original description can match various species with striped cyathophylls growing in this area; hence our choice to list it in the nomina dubia section until the taxonomic revision is completed.
