Invalid: "According to Art. 40.1 of the Shenzhen Code (Turland et al. 2018), a name published on or after Jan 1, 1958, must have a designated type. Ardré%u2019s paper was published in 1959. So, there must be a type indicated for validation of the taxon, but nothing like that was stated. Therefore, H. canariensis var. dawsonii must be treated as an invalid name, or a %u201Cbinary designation%u201D according to the Code." (Pedroche 2024: 296). - (08 October 2024) - M.D. Guiry
