Cactus phyllanthus
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
1
: 469. 1753
.
"Habitat in Brasilia, Surinamo, America meridionali." RCN: 3589.
Lectotype
(Leuenberger in
Goerts-Van
Rijn & Jansen-Jacobs,
Fl. Guianas
, ser. A, 18: 17. 1997): [icon] "
Cereus Scolopendrii
folio brachiato
" in Dillenius, Hort. Eltham. 1: 74, t. 64, f. 74. 1732.
Current name:
Epiphyllum phyllanthus
(L.) Haw.
(
Cactaceae
).
Note:
Wijnands (
Bot. Commelins
: 56. 1983) suggested that the cited Dillenius plate could be a suitable type but did not formally designate it as such, while Madsen (in Harling & Andersson,
Fl. Ecuador
, ser. B, 35: 31. 1989) wrongly treated 633.6 (LINN), a Browne collection not received by Linnaeus until 1758, as the
holotype
.
