Neofita / Neophyte
de la Sota (1995) pointed out that the earlier name S. adnata Desv. should replace S. molesta D.S.Mitch. However, Moran and Smith (1999) argued that S. adnata is of uncertain application, possibly pertaining to either S. biloba Raddi or S. molesta. Although Desvaux’s type specimen is vegetative, de la Sota (2001) provided some hints for distinguishing S. biloba and S. molesta also from vegetative parts, demonstrating that the name S. adnata should be applied to the plants formerly known as S. molesta. Schwartsburd and Miranda (2017) proposed to reject this name, and their proposal was recommended by the Nomenclature Committee for Vascular Plants (Applequist 2019) and by the General Committee (Wilson 2022).
