Adansonia View in CoL 3: 121 (1862) ≡ Turraea thouarsiana (Baill.) Cavaco & Keraudren View in CoL [ Meliaceae View in CoL ], Boletim da Sociedade Broteriana, sér. 2, 29: 24 (1955). — Type: Mauritius?, Du Petit-Thouars s. n. (holo-, P!).
REMARKS
Olax thouarsiana Baill. was mistakenly treated by Scott (1997) as a synonym of O. psittacorum View in CoL . Bosser (2002) brought attention to this error and identified the original material of the name, Du Petit- Thouars s. n., as Turraea thouarsiana (Baill.) Cavaco & Keraudren. The Du Petit-Thouars View in CoL sheet lacks a place of collection, but Baillon (1862) thought that the locality was probably somewhere in the Mascareignes because he mentioned “ Mauritius?” in the protologue. Palacký (1907), followed by Sleumer (1935) and Cavaco & Keraudren (1955b), incorrectly attributed the original collection of this taxon to Madagascar. Bosser’s study confirmed the provenance of the collection as Mauritius and revealed that the species was previously known under the now superfluous name, T. casimiriana Harms. View in CoL
