= S. boninensis Melchior (1925: 139) View in CoL , non Nakai (1918: 222), nom. illeg. (Art. 53.1 of the ICN)

Distribution:— Japan (the Bonin Islands).

Notes:—In the protologue of Schima boninensis, Nakai (1918) indicated “Hab. Bonin: in insula Chichishima (Hirotaro Hattori, Tomijiro Uchiyama),” and cited “ S. Noronhae, Reinw. var. boninensis, Hayata in Schéd. Herb. Imp. Univ. Tokyo.” Later, Bloembergen (1952) indicated “ H. Hattori (Lit.), T. Uchiyama (Lit., type of Schima boninensis Nakai ),” but he probably did not confirm the specimens because “Lit.” means that he checked the literature. In TI, we found three specimens that were collected from Chichijima on different days in July 1905 by H. Hattori. Of them, one (TI [03637]) had “ Schima noronhae var. boninensis H.” written on the label in Hayata’s handwriting, which is consistent with the citation in the protologue. On the other hand, we could not find Uchiyama’s specimens, but we found an anonymous specimen (TI [03639]) without a label but on which “ Schima noronhae var. boninensis H.” was directly written in Hayata’s handwriting. The specimen, whose collector may be T. Uchiyama, should be an original material along with the three Hattori’s specimens. Here, the specimen with Hayata’s handwriting (TI [03637]) was designated as the lectotype, because it has the annotation of “ Schima boninensis Nakai ” by T. Nakai in 1918 (Art. 9A.3 of the ICN, McNeill et al. 2012).
