Abstract

Nomenclatural notes on Malva cretica s.l. (Malvaceae) are discussed. The names Malva althaeoides, M. althaeoides var. hirsuta, M. anodaeformis, M. cretica, and M. cretica var. montana are lectotypified on specimens preserved in the Herbaria BM, G, MA, and P. The names M. hirsuta by Sieber and by Tenore are respectively invalid (Art. 36.1c) and illegitimate (Art. 53.2) according to the Melbourne Code.
