<i>Scutellaria indica</i> var. <i>bibari</i> (Lamiaceae), a replacement name for the illegitimate <i>Scutellaria indica</i> var. <i>alba</i> from Jejudo Island, Korea
Dong Chan SON, Kyung CHOI, Sangtae KIMThe name <i>Scutellaria indica</i> var. <i>alba</i> S. Kim & S. Lee, published in 1994, is illegitimate under Article 53.3 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), because it is a later homonym of <i>S. indica</i> var. <i>parvifolia</i> f. <i>alba</i> (H. Hara) H. Hara ex Murata & T. Yamaz., published in 1993. To resolve this nomenclatural conflict, <i>Scutellaria indica</i> var. <i>bibari</i> D. C. Son & S. Kim is proposed here as a replacement name (nomen novum).
