Lagerstroemia nervosa
Pierre ex Laness.
Les Plantes utiles des Colonies françaises
: 322 (1886)
. NOTE
We have not found a specimen in P or in another herbarium representing this taxon. The protologue describes a tree
30-35 m
tall, with a
40-60 cm
wide trunk. Moreover is indicated that it has the same wood characteristics as
Lagerstroemia petiolaris
.
We received the following additional information from Thierry Deroin (P): “in the Louis Pierre’s slide library at P, are kept 4 slides of
Lagerstroemia
sp.
(2 for wood anatomy, 1 for petiole, 1 for lamina), associated with an envelope with rough anatomical sketches and a reference to ‘
Pierre 1819
’ (possibly a specimen?). In the general collection, however, the latter is not present”.
