| description | 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. |
