Nomenclatural note
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 "When, on or after 1 January 1953, two or more different names based on the same type are proposed simultaneously for the same taxon by the same author (so-called alternative names), none of them is validly published."; Silva, Basson & Moe, 1996: 627), and thus the correct nomenclatural citation, if the species status is preferred, is Colpomenia peregrina Sauvageau. Many authors, including Womersley (1987: 298), Vandermuelen (1998), and John et al. (2003) give the authorities for this species as (Sauvageau) Hamel, as if Hamel (1937) had raised the valadi varietal name of Sauvageau to a species; in fact, however, C. peregrina (Sauvageau) Hamel is an illegitmate later homonym of C. peregrina Sauvageau. - (05 March 2012) - M.D. Guiry
