Description originale : Representatives of several related genera were studied, as well as the literature of those of which no material was available. Among the latter was a genus described as
Bulbulus by Swallen (1964). This name is inadmissable under the Code, as it is a technical term, comparable to
Radicula, which is given as an example in the pertinent article (Art.20). It can furthermore be considered as an orthographic variant and thus a later homonym of
Bulbilis Raf. (1819) and therefore to be rejected also (Art.64). A new name is required and is proposed here:
Rehia* Fijten, nom. nov., based on
Bulbulus Swallen, Phytologia 11 (1964)
154, non
Bulbilis Raf.(1819), with as the only species
R. nervata (Swallen) Fijten comb. nov. (
B. nervatus Swallen, l.c.).
