The name Arenaria serpyllifoiia L. var. macrocarpa Lloyd is illegitimate, because of the existence of the earlier non-synonymous A. serpyllifolia0 macrocarpa Godron. As on the level of variety no other name is available, we call the taxon A renaria serpylli/olia L. var. Iloydn (Jord.) Gutermann et Mennema, comb, nov., based on A. Iloydii Jord., a legitimate and valid name at specific rank for A. serpyllifolia L. var. macrocarpa Lloyd (non Godron).
