Taxonomic history

edit

Sisyrinchium vestitum was described by the Chilean botanist Pierfelice Ravenna in 2003. Ravenna's description appeared in issue 6, volume 8 of his self-published journal Onira, which had very limited distribution. Subsequent review of this protologue has been limited. The species is accepted as a correct name by the global taxonomy resource Plants of the World Online.[1] However, the regional Flora del Cono Sur, published by the Instituto de Botánica Darwinion in Argentina, regards Sisyrinchium vestitum as a heterotypic synonym for Sisyrinchium graminifolium.[2]

Ravenna's description of the species was based on a holotype he collected in the Santiago area on November 10, 2002, numbered Ravenna 4997.[3]
