Erithalis fruticosa Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 930. 1759.

["Habitat in Jamaica."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 1: 251 (1762). RCN: 1393.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 86. 9 (S); [icon] in Browne, Civ. Nat. Hist. Jamaica: 165, t. 17, f. 3. 1756.

Current name: Erithalis fruticosa L. ( Rubiaceae).

Note: Negrón-Ortiz (in Sida 21: 1584. 2005) wrongly refers to the cited Browne plate as the holotype (there is also original material in S). Although this could be corrected to lectotype under Art. 9.8, the absence of "designated here" with the type statement (Art. 7.11) means this cannot be accepted as a formal typification (see Art. 9.8, Note 4).
