Talk:List of endemic flora of Puerto Rico

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Zamia portoricensis

Hasn't that been synonymised with Zamia pumila (and thus is no longer endemic)? Guettarda 02:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

As always you seem to be correct. I have yet to find the paper where it was synonimzed but the USDA website does have it as a synonym. [1] Joelito (talk) 02:35, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I found a good reference. I believe that Liogier's 2001(?) checklist followed Eckenwalder in synonymising them, but Acevedo's work now stands as the most authoritative for Zamia is PR, so I would be inclined to include it, together with his note. Guettarda 20:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
