Scientific Name:

Arbutus mucronata Sessé & Moc.
Primary Citation:

Fl. Mexic. (ed. 1): 121. 1894
Description:

Type: A specimen of Arctostaphylos pungens labeled Arbutus mucronata exists at F and might serve as the lectotype. However, lectotypification is deferred because of uncertainity over the existence of specimens at M or elsewhere. Icone 345, referred to in the description, is clearly conspecific with Arctostaphylos pungens. According to McVaugh (1977), p. 121 (from p. 49 on) of the first edition (Sesse & Mocino, 1891-1897) was published after the second (Sesse & Mocino, 1894). If this is the case, the citation for Arbutus mucronata should be Flora Mexicana (ed. 2) p. 111. 1894.
