Astrophytum myriostigma tamaulipense

Description and meaning of the name

A historical name applied to Tamaulipas populations, including the Jaumave valley. The 2019 nomenclatural paper discusses priority of quadricostatum. POWO treats tamaulipense combinations as synonyms of A. myriostigma subsp. quadricostatum. The profile redirects to the accepted subspecies and retains the older name for searching.
