(1901) Proposal to reject the name Luzuriaga cordata (Dioscoreaceae).

The article presents a proposal for the rejection of the Luzuriaga cordata under Dioscoreaceae. It notes that L. Cordata has not been valid in botanical literature because of its overlooked characteristic classified under the family of Dioscoreaceae. It cites name reassessments which show that generic placement of Dioscorea and Epipetrum species are classified under paraphyletic Dioscorea, which is in contrast to the independent monophyletic genus interpreted by other taxonomist.
