Generitype
of
Chrysobalanus
Linnaeus.
Current name:
Chrysobalanus icaco
L.
(
Chrysobalanaceae
).
Note:
None of the material in LINN is original for the name so
Vidal's
type statement (in
Aubreville
,
Fl. Cambodge Laos Vietnam
6: 195. 1968) is not an effective choice. Prance (in
Goerts-van-Rijn
,
Fl. Guianas
, ser. A, 2: 6. 1986) indicated 641.1 (LINN) as a
neotype
, but as there are original elements in existence, this too cannot be accepted. Purohit & Panigrahi,
Fam.
Rosaceae
India
1: 260-261. 1991) indicated
Plumier's
t. 158 as
"
iconotype
"
on p. 260, and 641.1 LINN as
holotype
on p. 261, so neither is effective.
