| Remarks | Vatke intended to make a new combination based on Richard's name, but because Richard's name was illeg., Vatke's name is treated as a nom. nov. as per Art. 58.1. However because Vatke included the type specimen used by Richard, Vatke also should have used a different, legitimate basionym, Mussaenda schimperi Hochst., based on the same type and not blocked in Pentas. Thus, Vatke's name is also illegitimate. |
