Comment:
there is some question as to whether the spelling should be corrected to "
metulifer
" to reflect the classical Latin termination (
Shenzhen ICN
Art. 32.2) for the masculine form of this adjectival epithet (see also W. T. Stearn, Botanical Latin ed. 4:91. 1992), but lacking explicit guidance in the Code for this case we retain the original spelling
