Treatment

Calamus rotang Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 1: 325. 1753 View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat in Indiae sylvis juxta fluenta." RCN: 2528.

Type not designated.

Original material: [icon] in Piso, Ind. Nat. Med.: 188. 1658.

Generitype of Calamus Linnaeus.

Current name: Calamus rotang L. View in CoL ( Arecaceae ).

Note: Moore & Dransfield (in Taxon 28: 59. 1979) designated a Burman specimen in G, linked by Beccari (in Ann. Roy. Bot. Gard. Calcutta 11: 272. 1908) with the cited Burman reference, as lectotype. However, Burman did not illustrate the plant and Linnaeus did not see Burman’s material so it cannot be original material for the name. As there is a cited Piso illustration in existence, Moore & Dransfield’s choice unfortunately cannot be treated as a neotypification under Art. 9.8.
