Nomenclatural note
"It should be noted that in INA (2023), Moe has arbitrarily changed the specific epithet elisae to eliseae. However, as stated by Cormaci & Furnari (op. cit.: 22 "ETIMOLOGY"), because the specific epithet is based on a well established latin name, the Rec. 73C.2 of ICBN (Greuter et al., 1988) was correctly applied; the same recommendation was maintained in the current ICN (Turland et al., 2018: Rec. 60C.1)." (Cormaci & al. 2023: 408). - (24 November 2023) - M.D. Guiry
