Note:
Various authors have perceived nomenclatural problems with this name, chiefly because current usage does not agree with
Linnaeus'
original concept, which was apparently of a Spanish plant. Rauschert (in
Feddes Repert.
79: 420. 1969), for example, treated it as a
nomen ambiguum.
The name, however, is in use.
