Note: Cabrera (1971: 157) suggested that, following pollen analysis by Wodehouse (1929), the Buchtien collection showed closer affinity to Moquinia, suggesting M. racemosa (Spreng.) DC. [VERNONIEAE], a Brazilian species. This overlooked the fact that Blake had, in the interim, described the Buchtien collection as Aplopappus lucidulus, a taxon now accepted as belonging to Llerasia. Cuatrecasas (1970: 43) stated that the species was only known from the type, which is presumably where Rusby had described his Moquinia.

Note: Bigelowia mandonii Benth. & Hook.f., Gen. Pl. 2(1): 255 (1873) although cited by Hall (1928: 357) and others, no such combination was proposed in Genera Plantarum providing the specific epithet combined with the generic name. The first time the combination is found is in Index Kewensis but is still based upon Schultz Bipontinus nom. nud. (via reference to Genera Plantarum), and can only be attributed to B. D. Jackson (q.v.). In Genera Plantarum the name actually appears in a list of species of Linosyris as Linosyris mandonii Sch.Bip., which might possibly to be considered as a new name, provided by Bentham & Hooker, for Haplopappus hypoleucus Turcz. The diagnostic characters provided by Bentham & Hooker are those distinguishing sect. Diplostephioides, and nothing more. Linosyris mandonii Sch.Bip. also appeared in Linnaea 34(5): 534 (Feb. 1866) as a nom. nud. Hall (1928: 357) was of the opinion that the appearance of the name Linosyris mandoni in Genera Plantarum was its effective place of publication which is clearly incorrect.
