Summary In their revision of Petrorhagia , Ball and Heywood (1964) recognized five sections, four noted as new combinations. An examination of the Lexicon Generum Phanerogamarum of Post and Kuntze (1903) reveals that they recognized six sections of Petrorhagia. Three of the combinations noted by Post and Kuntze are legitimate; two predate similar combinations made by Ball and Heywood in 1964. Petrorhagia kennedyae (A. K. Jackson & Turrill) Meikle is determined to be a later isonym.
