Pothos latifolius
Linnaeus
,
Herbarium Amboinense
: 25. 1754
.
"Habitat [in Amboina.]" RCN: 7019.
Lectotype
(Merrill,
Interpret. Rumph. Herb. Amb.
: 33, 125. 1917; Boyce & Hay in
Telopea
9: 562. 2001): [icon] "
Adpendix arborum
" in Rumphius, Herb. Amboin. 5: 483, t. 181, f. 1. 1747.
Current name:
Piper
sp.
(
Piperaceae
).
Note:
Boyce & Hay disagree with
Merrill's
interpretation of the cited Rumphius plate, excluding t. 181, f. 2 (which is a
Pothos
), and follow Roxburgh in restricting the Linnaean name to t. 181, f. 1, which they identify as a species of
Piper
(
Piperaceae
). Although they wrongly accept
Roxburgh's
implicit typification, their statement that it is "here confirmed" is accepted as a formal typification (Art. 7.11).
