A Taxonomic Study of the Calea Orizabaensis Complex and Its Bearing on the Nomenclature of Verbesina standleyi (Asteraceae)

Abstract
Examination of type material ofVerbesina standleyi andCalea pachyphylla shows that the two taxa are conspecific. The older name,C. pachyphylla, has long been associated with the quite remote,C. orizabaensis. The latter is indistinguishable fromC. rupestris andC. guatemalensis; accordingly, these are placed in synonymy.Calea orizabaensis consists of two infraspecific taxa, var.orizabaensis and var.websteri; the latter is described as new.
