Abstract

BERNAL, RODRIGO; MORA, FRANCISCO  and  MURILLO, JOSÉ. EUPHORBIA SINCLAIRIANA, AN OLDER NAME FOR THE WIDESPREAD EUPHORBIA ELATA. Caldasia [online]. 2006, vol.28, n.2, pp.217-220. ISSN 0366-5232.

A comparison of collections of Euphorbia elata from accross its range with specimens of E. sinclairiana from its only known locality, the island of Gorgona, off the Pacific coast of Colombia, shows that the two entities are better treated as conspecific, under the older name E. sinclairiana.

Keywords : Euphorbia elata; Euphorbia sinclairiana; island endemism; Neotropics plants.
