  • Comment: Kükenthal cited this name as "Cladium mariscus... subsp. jamaicense (Crantz) Kükenth. comb. nova" and listed "Cladium jamaicense Crantz" as the intended basionym. The designation "Cladium jamaicense" was published without a description or diagnosis by Crantz and had not been validated by subsequent authors. Since Kükenthal provides a diagnosis for his new subspecies, his name is here treated as being that of a new taxon under ICN Art. 6.14 (Shenzhen Code, 2018), rather than a new combination.
