Summary Salpichroma Miers is not an orthographic variant of Salpichroa Miers but nomenclaturally distinct, though superfluous and illegitimate when published. Salpichroa origanifolia is shown to be the correct name for the weed, cock's eggs, to which the name S. rhomboidea has been applied. The correct citation is S. origanifolia (Lam.) Thell.
