Annotation: specific epithet of basionym, 'megalocarpon', has neuter Greek adjectival termination, but combination published as Macaglia 'megalocarpa' with feminine Latin adjectival termination; ICN Art. 23.5 requires that adjectival specific epithet agree in gender with generic name, but gives no authority to change termination from Greek to Latin form. Correct Greek feminine adjectival termination is -os (see Nicolson in Taxon 35: 326. 1986)
