Arbutus salicifolia Sessé & Moc.
Description:
Type: "Habitat in Eremo P. P. Carmelitarum." A specimen of Comarostaphylis discolor, collected by Sessé et al. (number "1240") and labeled "Arbutus salicifolia," exists at F. While not definitive, the type description is reasonable for C. discolor subsp. discolor. The name was placed in synonomy under subsp. discolor pending further investigation. If edition 2 (Sessé & Mociño, 1894) has priority over edition 1 (Sessé & Mociño, 1891-1897) from page 49 onwards (see McVaugh, 1977), the correct citation for Arbutus salicifolia should be Flora mexicana (ed. 2) 112. 1894.
