Nomenclatural note
Berecibar et al. (2009: 223) cite Sebdenia rodrigueziana (Feldmann) Codomier ex Athanasiadis (1987: 55). On p. 225 they note that while designating a lectotype in PC, Manghisi & Ribera (2007) pointed out that Parkinson's (1980) attempt to effect the binomial S. rodrigueziana was invalid because he cited a later publication by Feldmann (1939) rather than the protologue (Feldmann 1935). Combination was validated by Athanasiadis (1987: 77); the original combination proposed by Codomier (1972: 2299) was invalid. "Manghisi & Ribera (2007: 75) in their paper on lectotypification of this species, after an accurate nomenclatural history, concluded that the combination under the genus Sebdenia of H. rodrigueziana should be credited to Athanasiadis (1987: 55), because both Codomier's (1972c: 2299) and Parkinson's (1980: 13) combinations (the latter one commonly considered as valid) are invalid. Moreover, they confirmed that specimens of the Herbarium of J.J. Rodríguez (studied by Feldmann, 1939: 322), labelled as H. cornuta J.J. Rodríguez [nomen nudum, because the species was never described], col-lected at the Balearic Islands (Spain) and held in PC (Herbarium of Thuret & Bornet), as well those held in the Herbarium of J.J. Rodríguez in Minorca (The Balearic Islands, Spain) should be all referred to as S. rodrigueziana. That justifies the citation of H. cornuta [nomen nudum] among synonyms of S. rodrigueziana made by Manghisi & Ribera (2007: 76 and 77)." (Cormaci, Furnari & Alongi 2021: 301-2)
