New names and new combinations are proposed for 15 species of Campanul
aceae s.l. that have no legitimate name at that rank in the genus to w
hich they should be assigned. These nomenclatural innovations include
changes of genus and rank among the endemic Hawaiian Lobelioideae, the
final installment in the incorporation of Pratia into Lobelia, and re
placement of two illegitimate names in Campanuloideae. In the course o
f compiling a checklist of the species of Campanulaceae s.l. currently
recognized in the world's taxonomic literature (floras, checklists, m
onographs, revisions), a few species were found to have no legitimate
name in the genus to which they should be assigned, new names and comb
inations have been effected already (Lammers, 1995) for those involvin
g the illegitimate generic name Lightfootia L'Heritier de Brutelle. He
re, new names and new combinations are made for the remainder.
