The orthographies major/majus and maior/maius are both acceptable alternatives (with i and j being interchangeable to a large extent in Latin). Whichever letter was used in the basionym protologue should be preserved in all subsequent recombinations and corrections. Major (or maior) is the masculine/feminine form --- majus (or maius) is the neuter form, which must be used in the neuter genus Geniostom. Since Cheeseman published the name as Geniostoma ligustrifolium var. major, the appropriate correction is Geniostoma ligustrifolium var. majus (rather than maius).
