United States Exploring Expedition Phanerogamia: 679 (1854); United States Exploring Expedition , Atlas Phanerogamia: pl. 86 (1856). — Type (as given in protologue): “Feejee Islands; common on the mountains of Muthuata and Ovolau, between the altitudes of 500 and 2,000 feet ” .
Remarks
According to Smith (1952:127): “The type material, obtained by the U.S. Exploring Expedition, comes from at least two plants, [...] U.S. Expl. Exped. (GH, K, NY, US 47817 and 47818 Type)” and in Smith (1985: 17) he indicated that: “The two US sheets may be taken together as the holotype; 47817 bears fruits and 47818 flowers. Possibly the whole of the material is from more than two plants”. The sheets at GH (now with barcode no. 43319), K and NY (now with barcode no. 356079, [fl.]) were referred to as putative isotypes. Without studying both sheets at US (sheet no. 00047818, barcode no. 00097228 and sheet no. 00047817, barcode no. 00097227) and all the putative isotypes in detail, lectotypification would be premature. A further syntype at P has fruits.
