  • Comment: Jones cites the authorship of this designation as "(Nicholls) M. Clements & D. Jones" and states that "It was previously known as P. rufa ssp. aciculiformis (Nicholls) Blackmore & Clemesha". However, there is no full and direct reference to the intended basionym as required by ICN Art. 41.5 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
