Suppose a name and description is published for Drosera rotundifolium L.,
and this is pretty obviously a misspelling of D. rotundifolia L. Is the
former name considered a nomen illigitimum? Suppose the spelling change
was done to provide a proper latin suffix?

If a Drosera rotundifolia (Walter) Engelm. & Coult. is described in a flora,
would this also be a nomen illigitimum, or something else?
