Malvaceae, Mexico, Ayenia, Cybiostigma, Reevesia, VeeresiaAbstract
Two innovations in the nomenclature of Mexican Malvaceae are proposed. First, Ayenia sidifolia is reestablished as the correct name for the species currently known as A. mexicana: this latter name was incorrectly proposed as a replacement name in Ayenia for Cybiostigma sidifolium. Second, the monotypic genus Veeresia endemic to Mexico is placed in synonymy under the Asian genus Reevesia, and the new combination Reevesia clarkii is proposed.
