Abstract

Summary Farjon, A.: Nomenclature of the Mexican cypress or “cedar of Goa”, Cupressus lusitanica Mill. (Cupressaceae). ‐ Taxon 42: 81‐84. 1993. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262. Vagaries regarding the origin and taxonomic relationship of the second true cypress described after Linnaeus's Cupressus sempervirens result in the current use of two to three binomials for what is beyond doubt a single species. By identification of the holotype of Miller's name and the evaluation of some historical facts concerning Miller's source trees, the correct botanical name for the Mexican cypress is established and its principal synonymy given.
