Abstract

As part of an ongoing study on the names of vascular plants described from Sicily (Southern Italy) (e.g., Bartolucci & Domina 2014, Domina et al. 2016, Di Gristina et al. 2017, Domina et al. 2017, Traclet et al. 2017), a nomenclature investigation on the name Lavatera agrigentina Tineo (1817: 13), basionym of Malva agrigentina (Tineo 1817: 13) Soldano, Banfi & Galasso in Banfi et al. (2005: 230), which appears to be yet untypified, is here presented. The present study falls within the researches promoted by the Italian Botanical Society aimed to recognize and typify all the taxa described from Italy, in order to increase their systematic knowledge and promote further studies (Peruzzi et al. 2015, Brundu et al. 2017, Peruzzi et al. 2019).
