Abstract
Abstract: In the past the names Agave lophantha Schiede (1829) and A. univittata Haw. (1831) (Asparagaceae: Agavoideae / Agavaceae) were variously regarded as referring to the same species, or to two different taxa at either species or infraspecific ranks. In clarifying the nomenclature and taxonomy associated with these two names we show that they apply to the same taxon. We further neotypify both names with the same specimen, Howard Scott Gentry, [Arthur] Barclay & [Juan] Arguelles 20410, (US 2558492, barcode 00044294), which is held in US.
