content: Collection cited (1986) by C. Puff as isotype of Nenax divaricata T. M. Salter (notes added at later date [S.F. Smith script] to C. Puff's 1987 annotation label including "isotype"). Salter proposed "the new name Nenax divaricata in place of Ambraria acerosa Sond." However, Ambraria acerosa Sond. was a combination based on Nenax acerosa Gaertn. (1788), albeit misapplied (according to Salter). Salter effectively described a new species by reference to the earlier description and collection (ICBN Art. 41.7, note 3; J. H. Kirkbride, pers. comm. to J. K. Boggan, June 2016). This specimen also annotated (undated, unsigned; S.F. Smith script) as "isosyntype" of Ambraria acerosa Sond.
