Abstract
Loricaria Wedd. (Asteraceae), is an illegitimate homonym of Loricaria J.V. Lamour., currently considered a synonym of Himanthalia Gray (Himanthaliaceae, Phaeophyta). Consequently, the replacement name, Andicolea, is proposed.
Highlights
Loricaria Wedd. (1855) is a genus of Andean Asteraceae from the subtribe Gnaphaliinae (Smissen et al 2020) characterised by distichous branches with densely imbricate coriaceous leaves that conceal the capitula when flowering (Hind 2004), making them a very recogniseable genus at high altitudes
While creating a database for algal genera, the second author realised that Loricaria is a later homonym of Loricaria J.V
Lamour. (Bory de Saint-Vincent 1825), a genus based on Fucus loreus L. [= Himanthalia elongata (L.) Gray, Himanthaliaceae]
Summary
Loricaria Wedd. (1855) is a genus of Andean Asteraceae from the subtribe Gnaphaliinae (Smissen et al 2020) characterised by distichous branches with densely imbricate coriaceous leaves that conceal the capitula when flowering (Hind 2004), making them a very recogniseable genus at high altitudes. Since Lamouroux (in Bory de Saint-Vincent 1825) repeatedly refers to his ‘Essai’, following its systematic treatment, with modifications from Stackhouse (1809) and Agardh (1821), Loricaria was validly published under the provisions of Art. 38.14 of the Shenzhen Code, as it were Turbinaria, Nodularia and Moniliformia. A. Molinari-Novoa: Andicolea, a replacement name for Loricaria proposed by Cuatrecasas (1954), listed alphabetically. Andicolea azuayensis (Cuatrec.) Mayta & Molinari, comb. Andicolea azuayensis is endemic to Ecuador, it is considered an Endangered species (León Yáñez et al 2011; Ulloa Ulloa et al 2017).
