| Remarks | "P. veneticus J. A. West, Zuccarello & J. L. Scott" cited as type. "Pulvinus" coincides with a Latin technical term in use in morphology (refers to swollen petiole bases in legumes) and is invalid (see the Vienna Code Art. 20.2 & Ex. 4). Since the generic name is invalid, the specific name "P. veneticus" is also invalid. |
