Remarks
Britton cited the type collectors as: León, Clement & Roca Eponymy: Hermano (brother) Clemente. However, the honoree also used the French variant of his monastic name, frère Clément (as seen on specimen labels). Therefore, the published epithet clementiana should be retained, and no correction to 'clementeana' is needed (vide Werner Greuter; B)
