Lijndenia meeusei (H. Perrier) R.D. Stone View in CoL , comb. nova.

Memecylon meeusei H. Perrier View in CoL in Notul. Syst. (Paris) 12: 106. 1945.

Lectotypus (designated by STONE, 2017: 80): MADAGASCAR. Prov. Toamasina: Soanierana-Ambahoabé , 75 m, 3.XII.1938, fl., Lam & Meeuse 5624 ( L [ L0009293 ]!; isolecto-: BR [ BR000000626121 ]!, P [ P00057569 , P00057570 ]!, WAG [ WAG0002347 ]!).

Notes. – The leaf shape and peduncle length of Lam & Meeuse 5624 (type of Memecylon meeusei ) are unusual in comparison to the remaining collections assigned to Lijndenia lutescens ( STONE, 2017) . Because of this, it is rather unfortunate that the new combination L. meeusei must be taken up in accordance with the rule of priority. Under the present circumscription, however, these plants are regarded as conspecific. If future workers determine that the type of Memecylon meeusei belongs to a different species, then L. lutescens (Jacq.Fél.) Jacq.-Fél. would become the correct name for the plants previously known as L. lutescens (Jacq.-Fél.) Jacq.-Fél. The replacement name L. memecyloides R.D. Stone was illegitimate when published and will remain so unless conserved (ICN: Art. 6.4).
