- Title
(2199) Proposal to conserve the name Agave xleopoldii W. Watson against A. leopoldii Rafarin (Agavaceae/Asparagaceae).

- Abstract
The article offers information on proposal to conserve the name Agave xleopoldii by scientist W. Watson against A. leopoldii by scientist Rafarin. It informs that A. xleopoldii is a hybrid produced by scientist W. B. Kellock in his garden at Stamford Hill, in England, in the 1870s. The proposal has been made because the acceptance of Rafarin's A. leopoldii name will cause confusion and will require the adoption of a new name for the widely grown hybrid.
