Notes. – Based on MERMOUD (1980), the two collections were made only a few days apart starting at Denisleh then Khonas (= Colossas). It appears that Boissier mixed the collection month because the lectotype has flowers and fruit, and the second collection has fully mature fruit.

The mere listing of the above lectotype as type by TAN (2002) does not constitute a valid lectotypification of the species (see TURLAND et al., 2018: Art. 9, note 6; MCNEILL, 2014).

The lectotype is a collection folder of two sheets one of which is unlabeled.
