Kitamura (1962: 148) . Distribution: Japan (Bonin Islands, Ryukyu Islands, Yakushima), Taiwan (Lanyu Island). = T. jasminoides Lemaire (1851 : pl. 61) subsp. foetidum Matsumura & Nakai (1908: 153) T. foetidum (Matsum. & Nakai) Nakai (1922: 21–22) . Lectotype (designated here) — JAPAN : Bonin Hahajima Chibusa-yama: 6 Aug. 1905 , H. Hattori s.n. (TI [44050]!). In the first publication of Trachelospermum jasminoides Lem. subsp. foetidum Matsum. & Nakai (1908) and its subsequent treatment by Nakai (1922) , no specimen was cited and no infomation on a collector or locality was provided. But Nakai (1922) cited “ T. jasminoides , (non Lemaire) in Hattori (1908) ”. Hattori (1908) , which was published in June, was based on the speciems gathered by H. Hattori in the Bonin Islands in 1905. In relation to this publication, we found one specimen ( H. Hattori s.n. , 6 Aug. 1905 ) at TI. Because there are no other expedition records of the botanical research in the Bonin Islands from 1906 to 1911 ( Tuyama 1970 ; Nakai 1928b ), and because Matsumura & Nakai (1908) was published on November, Matsumura & Nakai (1908) must have been based on the Hattori’s specimen at TI. Thus, although this specimen contains neither J. Matsumura’s nor T. Nakai’s handwritten labels on it, it is considered as the original material of this taxon and is designated as the lectotype .
