Nomenclatural Notes

Status: nom. inval. Provisional name; see Shenzhen Code Art. 36 Ex. 4 [Protologue: 'De Cereo: ... Cereum senilem ... Huic certe adest character tam distinctus (verum cephalium) qui a Cereis veris sejungere deberet. Attamen forma columnaris, flores, baccæ el semina, sunt omnino Cereorum; quapropter averso a generibus novis formandis animo motus, solummodo sectionem ad Cereorum initium collocandam proponam, sub nomine: Cerei cephalophori. Attamen, si Doctis uno consensu ita quadraret ut de hac planta novum genus formaretur, Cephalophorus nominaretur, et duas species solum usque ad id tempus includeret, scilicet ... [Cephalophorus] Senilis, Haw. ... [Cephalophorus] columna Trajani, Karw.'']
