Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part C), Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types, London: Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum, pp. 370-473 : 398

Celtis orientalis Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2: 1044. 1753.

"Habitat in Indiis." RCN: 7646.

Lectotype (Soepadmo & Edi Hamli in Soepadmo, Tree Fl. Sabah Sarawak 2: 399. 1996): Herb. Hermann 2: 2; 4: 71, No. 369 (BM).

Current name: Trema orientalis (L.) Blume ( Ulmaceae ).

Note: Polhill (in Kew Bull. 19: 143. 1964), and some later authors, have indicated material in Herb. Hermann 2: 2; 4: 71 (BM) as syntypes but as the use of this term implies no intention to indicate a single nomenclatural type (unlike the use of holotype, lectotype or neotype), this is not regarded as a correctable error. Soepadmo & Edi Hamli, however, indicated the same material simply as “type”. Although there is material in two volumes, it appears to have been part of a single gathering, so their statement is accepted as the first typification (Art. 9.15).
