Oldenlandia corymbosa Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 119. 1753.

"Habitat in America meridionali." RCN: 983.

Lectotype (Verdcourt in Polhill, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Rubiaceae 1: 308. 1976): [icon] “Oldenlandia” in Plumier, Nov. Pl. Amer.: 42, t. 36. 1703.

Generitype of Oldenlandia Linnaeus (vide Hitchcock, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 125. 1929).

Note: Verdcourt’s choice of type appears to be the earliest though some later authors (e.g. Nazimuddin & Qaiserin (in Nasir & Ali, Fl. Pakistan 190: 15. 1989) have erroneously treated the post-1753 Herb. Linn. 155.9 (LINN) as “type” .
