Summary The author does not agree with M. E. P. K. Fidalgo's replacement of Hexagonia mori Pollini per Fr. as the type of Hexagonia Pollini per Fr. by Hexagonia crinigera Fr. Her arguments in favour of this substitution are scrutinized below and found to be untenable. The correct name for Hexagonia sensu K. Fid. is Scenidium (Kl.) ex O.K. For Hexagonia sensu Bond. & S. (not validly published) the new name Apcxona Donk is proposed.
