Abstract

The name Trommsdorffia Bernh. 1800 for a genus of Compositae was validly published with a diagnosis and in connection with a determination key. The homonymous name Trommsdorffia Mart. 1825 for a genus of Amaranthaceae is therefore illegitimate and is substituted here by a new generic name Pedersenia Holub. Seven new nomenclatural combinations are proposed with the new generic name for species of the genus occurring in South and Central America.
