Note: Lamouroux's change of epithet from bartayresiana to bartayresii was unwarranted. Collins & Hervey (1917: 90, footnote) erred in believing that Lamouroux's paper in Desvaux's Journal de Botanique appeared after his paper in the Nouveau Bulletin des Sciences. The respective dates of publication were April 1809 (see Stafleu & Cowan, 1976: 634) and May 1809, respectively.
