RCN: 6900. Replaced synonym of: Epidendrum tuberosum L. (1763) , nom. illeg. Lectotype (Ormerod in Austral. Orchid Rev. 59: 14. 1994): [icon] " Angraecum terrestre primum " in Rumphius, Herb. Amboin. 6: 112, t. 52, f. 1. 1750. Current name: Phaius terrestris (L.) Ormerod ( Orchidaceae ). Note: Ormerod ( l.c .) typified the name using the Rumphius plate and made the combination Phaius terrestris (L.) Ormerod. Garay (in Harvard Pap. Bot. 2: 47, f. 1. 1997) rejected this choice on the grounds that the plate conflicted with the diagnosis and that the Code "always gives preference to existing specimens over cited illustrations". He proposed 1062.19 (LINN) as lectotype instead, a specimen identifiable as a species of Geodorum for which the combination G. terrestre (L.) Garay was made. Although Ormerod apparently overlooked the material in LINN, he nevertheless designated a cited figure, part of the protologue (with which it cannot therefore be in conflict) and original material for the name, as the type. Uncited specimens and cited illustrations carry equal weight for typification purposes (Art. 9.10) and so Ormerod's choice cannot be overturned in this way.
