Type
(as given in protologue): “in montibus (Pancher)”. —
Lectotype
(here designated):
Pancher s
.
n
., pro parte (
P
! [excluding part on left hand sides).
Five sheets at
P
collected by PANCHER lack a number and belong to this taxon. The label of one has both “
Codia obcordata
Brongn. var.
discolor
Brongn.
” and “
Codia discolor
Guillaumin
” in GUILLAUMIN’ s hand. However, the material appears to come from two different plants though both belong to the same species. The smaller piece on the right hand side is chosen here as the
lectotype
.
Of the remaining sheets of
Pancher s
.
n
. at
P
, two have “
Codia discolor
” in GUILLAUMIN’ s hand but they have much larger leaves and are unlikely to be from the same plant as the
lectotype
. The other two sheets have nothing written by GUILLAUMIN on the label. These are
syntypes
.
Prior to 1941, specimens now identified as
C
.
discolor
had often been known as
Codia floribunda
(
GUILLAUMIN 1941: 254
)
, but as lectotypified here, that name belongs in the synonymy of
C
.
montana
.
