Nomenclatural Notes
Status: nom. illeg. later homonym non S. dumosa Nutt. ex Hook. (1847).
Remarks
A. Gray used: S. Dumosa, Nutt! Mss.; Hook. Land. Jour. Bot. 6. p. 217. ... This is the S. discolor of Torrey in Ann. Lye. New York (James's Collection), and a good species; but the original S. discolor, Pursh, I believe to be only S. ariaefolia; as certainly is a plant of Menzies so named by Pursh in Herb. Lambert. S. dumosa Nutt. ex Hook. (1847) is an illegitimate superfluous name for S. discolor Pursh (1813). Since A. Gray used S. dumosa Nutt. ex Hook., but excluded its illegitimacy causing synonymy (i.e., S. discolor Pursh), he created a later homonym (see Vienna Code Art. 48.1).
