Notes
. – A specimen in the Houttuyn herbarium from either Java or
Ceylon
is in G-PREL [G00818132].
A specimen from
Java
of this widespread SE Asian species is also present in L (L-908.133-1291). No corresponding specimen was found in UPS-THUNB. Another specimen from the Burman herbarium represents possible original material of
Guilandina moringa
,
namely
Burman 18
(G-PREL [G00818136]), which represents original material of the pre-Linnaean “Moringa
zeylanica Burm.
” published in Thes. Zeyl.: 162, tab. 75. 1736. The Burman publication was cited by Linnaeus in 1753 and
Burman 18
was designated as the
lectotype
by
VIDAL (1962: 5)
, but rejected by the
LINNAEAN PLANT NAME TYPIFICATION PROJECT (2016)
, indicating “… this would not have been studied by Linnaeus and is not original material”. The correct
lectotype
, which Linnaeus definitely saw, was designated by
KERAUDREN & GILLETT (1963: 317)
:
Hermann 2: 24, n° 155
[BM000594587].
