scientific name

Rauvolfia serpentina (L.) Benth. ex Kurz
status

 

Ophioxylon serpentinum Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 1043. 1753.

"Habitat in Zeylona." RCN: 7631.

Lectotype (Monachino in Econ. Bot. 8: 353. 1954; Leeuwenberg in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 71. 1993): Herb. Hermann 4: 77, No. 398, upper specimen (BM-000628401) .

Generitype of Ophioxylon Linnaeus.

Current name: Rauvolfia serpentina (L.) Benth. ex Kurz View in CoL View at ENA ( Apocynaceae ).

Note: Monachino’s type statement did not distinguish between material in volumes 1 and 4 of the Hermann herbarium, but as the specimens appear to have been part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 applies, and Monachino is accepted as having typified the name, with subsequent restriction to one of the specimens being made by Leeuwenberg.
