Armada, J. & Barra, A. 1992. On Aloysia Palau (Verbenaceae). Taxon, 41(1): 88-90. [CD_REF = 639101] Aloysia citrodora Paláu, 1784

Orthographe : L'orthographe originale est "citrodora" (dans le texte et sur la planche). Le Code (ICN Shenzhen, Art. 60.10) indique que: "Adjectival epithets that combine elements derived from two […] Latin words are to be compounded as follows: (a) removing the case ending of the genitive singular ([…] -ae, -i, -us, -is […]) and (b) before a consonant, adding […] -i […]. Adjectival epithets not formed in accordance with this provision are to be corrected to conform with it  […].". Ici les mots "citrus" et "odorus" peuvent être composés pour donner "citrodorus, am, um", puisque le mot "odorus" ne commence pas par une consonne et que l'ajout du -i n'est donc pas obligatoire. L'orthographe originale ne doit donc pas être corrigée en "Aloysia citriodora" et doit donc être respectée.

Type : D'après Tropicos: "illegitimate according to ICN Art. 52.1: cites Verbena triphylla L'Hér. (1785), the epithet of which ought to have been used; presumably intended as a combination based on Zappania citriodora Lam. (1791), but that name is also illegitimate (and for the same reason), as is Aloysia citriodora Ortega ex Pers. (1806), which is cited as well."
