Corrigendum of the article: ‘Composition and antifungal activity of the essential oil of Nashia inaguensis Millsp. (Verbenaceae) cultivated in French Guiana’ published in the journal of essential oil research (DOI:10.1080/10412905.2016.1142477)

International audience ; In a recent publication (DOI:10.1080/10412905.2016.1142477), we presented the composition and antifungal activity of the essential oil of allegedly Nashia inaguensis Millsp. (Verbenaceae) using material from plants cultivated in French Guiana. A recent taxonomic revision of the genus Nashia, including a complete description of N. inaguensis, called our attention, as certain morphological characters did not correspond with those of our voucher specimen. An accurate re-examination of the voucher specimen and the original cultivated plants, and a comparison with the complete description of Lippia species present in the Guianas, confirmed that the species we studied was actually L. micromera Schauer. The present corrigendum aims to revise the botanical characterization presented in the aforementioned article. The chemical composition and antifungal activity of the essential oil of interest are then discussed in light of this corrected taxonomic identification in comparison with previous studies of L. micromera essential oil.The authors apologize for the error.
