A13. Astropanax tessmannii (Harms) Lowry, G.M. Plunkett, Gostel & Frodin View in CoL , comb. nov.

÷ Schefflera tessmannii Harms View in CoL in Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 53: 360. 1915.

Lectotypus (designated by BAMPS, 1974a: 28): E QUATO- RIAL GUINEA. Río Muni: Wele Nzas Prov. , Nkolentangan, bud & fl., Tessmann 344 ( K [ K000350396 ]!) .

Habitat and distribution. – Astropanax tessmannii is known from a few localities in Equatorial Guinea ( Río Muni), northern Gabon, southern Cameroon, northern Republic of Congo and north-central Democratic Republic of the Congo ( BAMPS, 1974b; APD, 2017). It occurs in humid and swampy forest from sea level to c. 750 m elevation.

Notes. – The holotype of Schefflera tessmannii was presumably at B and would thus have been destroyed, prompting BAMPS (1974a) to designate the only known duplicate at K as the lectotype .
