• Text: "Fourreau gave this species a new name in his segregate genus Acetosella, thereby avoiding the tautonym that would result from using Linnaeus' epithet in this genus. The authority for Fourreau's name has at times been cited as '(Koch) Fourr.', apparently on the assumption that Fourreau (1869) based his name on Rumex acetosella [var.] α vulgaris Koch (1837: 616). However, Fourreau's text does not indicate any awareness of Koch's name, merely citing 'Rumex acetosella L.' as though it were a synonym of his new name. This is in contrast to new combinations in his publication, where he indicates in parentheses the authors of the basionyms."
