34. Benstonea pilaris (Ridl.) Callm. & Buerki View in CoL , comb.nova.
≡ Pandanus pilaris Ridl. View in CoL in J. Straits Branch Roy. Asiat. Soc. 86: 311. 1922.
Lectotypus (designated here): MALAYSIA. Negeri Sembilan (Peninsular Malaysia): Bukit Tangga, 10.XII.1920, Ridley s.n. ( K [ K00781286 ]!) .
Epitypus (designated here): MALAYSIA. Selangor (Peninsular Malaysia): Pantai Valley , 13.IX.1967, Mahmud & Sharif s.n. ( KLU image seen) .
Distribution and ecology. – Benstonea pilaris is endemic to the rainforests of Peninsular Malaysia ( STONE, 1969).
Observations. – The type collection (Ridley s.n.) has not been found in SING, but a steril duplicate has recently been rediscovered by HB at Kew, which is here designated as the lectotype. In 1978, STONE designated a specimen at KLU (Mahmud & Sharif s.n.) as the neotype, but the rediscovery of the type revokes this nomenclatural act. As Mahmud & Sharif s.n. is a fertile collection including a complete syncarp, and clearly belongs to B.pilaris , we designate it as the epitype.
