Schiedea spergulina A. Gray var. leiopoda Sherff, Amer. J. Bot. 31: 151. 1944.
Type information:
Holotype [PH]. A.A. Heller 2446. 24-26 June 1895. Kaua`i: south-central Kaua`i, along the Hanapepe River, near the Falls. Isotype(s) [MIN!, P! [2]].

Note: Collection 2446, pro parte. Sherff studied nine sheets under this number collected 24-26 June. He segregated two sheets bearing senescent plants of Heller's collection as this entity while describing seven sheets bearing more actively growing plants as S. spergulina var. major. Other collections distributed under Heller 2446 were made 2-8 July (MO!, US!), and were cited as paratypes of S. spergulina var. major. Two labels were used on the June collection, the PH holotype gives the more general date of 24-26 June with the more specific locality, while the MIN sheet gives June 26 as the date and the locality given generally as Hanapepe and Wahiawa watershed.
