Nomenclatural notes
This taxon was proposed with alternative names (Colpomenia peregrina Sauvageau and Colpomenia sinuosa var. peregrina Sauvageau), with neither being preferrred (Pedroche et al. 2008:64). Because publication was effected prior to 1 January, 1953, both names are valid (ICBN Art. 34.2; Silva, Basson & Moe, 1996: 627). Womersley (1987: 298) and John et al. (2003) cite the authority for this species as (Sauvageau) Hamel.
