However, under Art. 10.5, Ex. 7 (a voted example) of the Vienna Code, this is a type choice made under the American Code and is to be replaced under Art. 10.5b by Green's choice ( Prop. Brit. Bot. : 182. 1929) of T. erecta L. Moore (in Fawcett & Rendle, Fl. Jamaica 7: 262. 1936) noted the existence of material in the Clifford herbarium but did not designate a type.
