Helicteres angustifolia
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
2
: 963. 1753
.
"Habitat in China. Osbeck." RCN: 6971.
Type not designated.
Original material:
Herb. Linn. No. 1074.5 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Helicteres angustifolia
L.
(
Sterculiaceae
).
Note:
Cristobal
(in
Bonplandia
11: 176. 2001) indicated 1074.5 (LINN) (as
"1974.5"
) as the
holotype
. While there do not appear to be grounds for accepting it as a
holotype
, this collection does appear to be original material for the name and eligible for selection as a
lectotype
. However, this choice was published after 1 Jan 2001 and so the omission of the phrase "designated here" or an equivalent (Art. 7.11) means that this choice is not effective.
