    Nombre Vulgar y Usos

    Tipo y Observaciones

    Material Tipo: Lippia geminata Kunth var. lanceolata Griseb.
    Observaciones: Nom. nov. para Lippia geminata Kunth var. lanceolata Griseb., dada la existencia previa de Lippia lanceolata Michx., 1803. Phenology. Lippia lorentzii flowers and fruits from September to May. Taxonomic notes. Moldenke (1978c) considered Lippia lorentzii to be the correct name for a taxon that includes L. chacensis as a synonym; given that both names have the same priority, following Article 11.5 (Turland et al., 2018), Moldenke’s choice must be fol- lowed. Lippia lorentzii is distinguished among the rest of the Lippia taxa by its sericeous leaves and bracts. It resembles L. alba; see taxonomic notes under that species.
