These 2 species names refer to the same plant, but the entry in the database has them under nussbaumerianum instead of adolphi.



I realize that's what's listed in the CoL

http://www.catalogueoflife.org...

but it's not right. The name adolphi was published 12 years earlier so it should take precedence.

S. adolphi (Hamet 1912)
S. nussbaumerianum (Bitter 1924)

Some of the back story on Carl Purpus and these plants in this 2010 article:

https://www.researchgate.net/p...

Note that these authors undercut their credibility by using an incorrect spelling for the species name adolphi, but the underlying story is basically correct (dates confirmed elsewhere), and the prior publication of adolphi should make it the name for the combined species.
