Nomenclatural note
"This species is most likely an ecological variant of S. involuta. The type locality was sampled and no specimens with the distinguishing character were collected, but S. involuta was identified using DNA sequencing. As noted in the protologue, carpogonia on involucral filaments have been noted in other taxa, but not on the filaments immediately subtending the carpogonium, which seems to be a minor distinction." (Vis & Necchi 2021: 289). - (21 April 2022) - M.D. Guiry
