Summary In the course of a phenetic study of Clarkia unguiculata Lindley and its relatives, nomenclatural problems concerning the typification of the genus Phaeostoma Spach and the typification of Clarkia sect. Phaeostoma Lewis & Lewis were discovered. Solutions to these problems are proposed here. In addition, two subsections within C. sect. Phaeostoma are described to accommodate two very distinct entities within this section: C. xantiana A. Gray and the C. unguiculata group.
