Ceodes lanceolata (Poir.) E.F.S.Rossetto & Caraballo comb. nov. ≡ Calpidia lanceolata Poir., Encycl. Suppl. 2: 38. 1811. (Basionym). Distribution. Mauritius and Reunion islands ( Philcox and Coode 1994 ). Note. We disagree with Stemmerik's (1964a) view on Pisonia lanceolata (Poir.) Choisy, which he considered a synonym of P. umbellifera . According to Friedmann (1986) , P. lanceolata is a species with affinities to P. brunoniana , from which it can be distinguished by the pattern of incisions in the flower.
