Abstract
The new combination Stigmaphyllon bonariense, based on Banisteria bonariensis Hook. & Arn., is proposed to replace the more recent name Stigmaphyllon littorale Adr. Juss. for a species from southern South America. Because the publication dates of Hooker's Botanical Miscellany, the journal in which the basionym was published, are in part incorrectly given in the widely used reference Taxonomic Literature, the correct dates for all parts are listed and are based on a previously published review by H. S. Marshall.
