NAMES IN GEISSOIS FROM FIJI

Types for the Fijian taxa were indicated by Smith (1952, 1985) and only very minor problems remain, such as the need to convert to “ lectotype ” some of the “ holotypes ” indicated by Smith (for G. imthurnii , G. superba and G. ternata var. serrata ) and the need to lectotypify G. ternata . Since Geissois in Fiji was revised recently ( Smith 1985) I have not attempted to see all the type material, and these names are included for the sake of completeness. Images of types at US and NY were viewed on the websites of the US National Herbarium Type Specimen Register (http://ravenel. si.edu/botany/type, consulted on 30 March 2006) and the New York Botanical Garden’s Virtual Herbarium (http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/ VirtualHerbarium.asp, consulted on 30 March 2006). Sheet numbers for types at BISH and GH were taken from their on-line databases (http:// www.bishopmuseum.org/research/natsci/botany/ dbandkeys/botanydb.html, and http://cms.huh. harvard.edu/databases/specimen_index.html respectively, both consulted on 30 March 2006). Details of locality and date of collection are given from the protologues and are not repeated when discussing the holotypes or lectotypes for these names as I know of no ambiguities concerning these data.
