basionym: Monenteles sphaeranthoides DC. legitimate

• Comment: Mueller attributes the name to "Bentham & J. Hooker, gen. plant. II, 94 (1873)". While G.Bentham in G.Bentham & J.D.Hooker, Gen. Pl. 2: 294 (1873), indicates that the name Monenteles had been applied to Australian species of Pterocaulon he does not make the required combination at specific rank.
