Abstract

Two taxonomic and nomenclatural issues in Lithospermum are addressed. The new combination L. thurberi based on Onosmodium thurberi is made, and L. macromeria (Macromeria viridiflora) is included as a heterotypic synonym. Lithospermum bejariense and Onosmodium bejariense are treated here as two distinct taxonomic entities.
