DISCUSSION.— Barleriola solanifolia occurs in Cuba, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico (Acevedo-Rodríguez and Strong 2012). Its pollen was depicted by Lindau (1893). Nees (1847: 243, 262) treated Aetheilema rigidum as a synonym. Gómez de la Maza (1894) proposed three varieties of B. solanifolia . His variety humilis is illegitimate because it included the basionym Barleria solanifolia . The variety lindeniana referenced the specimen Linden 1830 (not seen by us) but provided no description or diagnosis. Gómez did not reference, directly or indirectly, Nees (1847:726) who used the same specimen to describe a variety without providing a name for it. The variety bispinosa was based upon Anthacanthus bispinosus , which was later treated as a synonym of B. solanifolia by Lindau (1900) and León and Alain (1957).
