Lisianthius biflorus Linnaeus , Flora Jamaicensis: 14. 1759.

"Habitat [in Jamaica.]"

Replaced synonym of: Lisianthius cordifolius L. (1767) , nom. illeg

Type not designated.

Original material: [icon] in Browne, Civ. Nat. Hist. Jamaica: 157, t. 9, f. 2. 1756.

Current name: Lisianthius cordifolius L. ( Gentianaceae ).

Note: This name appears never to have been taken up. It is validated solely by reference to an account of Lisianthius species no. 2 in Browne (Civ. Nat. Hist. Jamaica: 157. 1756), which also includes an illustration (t. 9, f. 2). Linnaeus later substituted L. cordifolius L. (1767) for it. The latter, although in use, therefore appears to be illegitimate.
