synonyms
Braun & Klenke have argued that the name P. thymi was used incorrectly for what presently is called P.scheideri, simultaneously showing that P. thymi is the correct name for what used to be indicated as P. stipina:
Puccinia stipina Tranzschel, 1913; Puccinia salviae-stipae Klebahn, 1904; P. stipae var. stipina (Tranzschel) Green & Cummins, 1958; P. thymi-stipae Saccardo, 1905.
