<p><strong>Nomenclatural novelties in Brazilian Verbenaceae</strong></p>

Abstract

Lippia subracemosa var. harleyi Moldenke and Verbena subpetiolata N.O’Leary, previously considered synonyms of Lippia lasiocalycina Chamisso and Glandularia jordanensis (Moldenke) N.O’Leary &amp; P.Peralta, respectively, are being here recognized as distinct species in the genera Lippia and Glandularia. The nomenclatural changes needed are herein proposed: Lippia deltata I.N.Santana &amp; T.R.S.Silva stat. &amp; nom. nov. and Glandularia subpetiolata (N.O’Leary) P.H.Cardoso &amp; V.Thode comb. nov. Comments on the distribution and morphological characters to differentiate these species from their most similar congeneric taxa are provided.
