In 1978 when Straley adopted the name Oenothera fruticosa L. subsp. glauca (Michx.) Straley for one of the two recognized subspecies of O. fruticosa it was the correct name for this taxon; however, since that time the botanical code has changed so that now an autonym is treated as having priority over the name or names of the same date and rank that established it. This change means that since 1981 O. fruticosa subsp. glauca was no longer the correct name. The appropriate combination for it is made here as O. fruticosa L. subsp. tetragona (Roth) W.L. Wagner. Original material for the basionym, O. tetragona, is no longer extant so a neotype is designated.
1978年，斯特拉利采用月见草（Oenothera fruticosa L.）的一个公认亚种的名称月见草毛果亚种（Oenothera fruticosa L. subsp. glauca (Michx.) Straley）来指代该物种，当时这是该分类群的正确名称；然而，自那时起，植物学命名法规发生了变化，如今一个自动名称被视为优先于确立它的同一日期和等级的一个或多个名称。这一变化意味着自1981年起，月见草毛果亚种不再是正确的名称。此处为其给出合适的组合，即月见草四方亚种（O. fruticosa L. subsp. tetragona (Roth) W.L. Wagner）。基原异名月见草四方变种（O. tetragona）的原始材料已不复存在，因此指定了一个新模式标本。
