Original material:
Browne
,
Herb. Linn. No. 633.3 (
LINN
)
; [icon] in Plumier in Burman, Pl. Amer.: 190, t. 197, f. 2. 1758; [icon] in Sloane, Voy. Jamaica 2: 160, t. 224, f. 3, 4. 1725.
Note:
The name does not appear to be in use. The cited Sloane plate and the Browne specimen (633.3 LINN), are members of the
Orchidaceae
related to
Vanilla, Campylocentrum
or
Dendrophylax
, and the cited Plumier plate is a
Rhipsalis.
Barthlott & Taylor (in
Bradleya
13: 73. 1995) stated that they intended to propose the name for rejection but no proposal appears to have been published.
