Abstract

Through a phylogenetic study using LEGCYC1A nucleotide sequences and a survey of historical botanical literature, we propose clarifications in the nomenclature of Lupinus oreganus and Lupinus biddlei. The former taxon has been incorrectly classified asLupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and recently as L. oreganus var. kincaidii. The latter has recently been incorrectly delimited as L. oreganus var. oreganus.


Se proponen aclaraciones en la nomenclatura de Lupinus oreganus y Lupinus biddlei a través de un estudio filogenético que utiliza secuencias nucleótidas de LEGCYC1A y una revisión de literatura botánica histórica. El primer taxón mencionado se ha clasificado incorrectamente como Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii y recientemente como L. oreganus var. kincaidii. El segundo taxón mencionado ha sido delimitado erróneamente como L. oreganus var. oreganus.
