Notes: Elven: The first publication of the combination by Gift, Kron, and Stevens in Kron et al. (2002) was without basionym reference. Galasso et al. validated the combination in 2005. The second validation, by Kron et al., Nordic J. Bot. 26: 47 (2008), was made without knowledge of the previous one and is superfluous.
