Ochna jabotapita
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
, ed. 2, 1
: 732. 1753
,
nom. illeg.
"Habitat in America meridionali." RCN: 3866.
Type not designated.
Original material: none traced.
Current name:
Ouratea plumieri
Tiegh.
(
Ochnaceae
).
Note:
An illegitimate later homonym of
O. jabotapita
Linnaeus (1753)
, as Linnaeus excluded the type of that name in the protologue. Bittrich & Amaral (in
Taxon
43: 91. 1994) stated both that they were designating Plumier (1703: t. 32) as
lectotype
, and that a Boerhaave copy of it "must be accepted as the
lectotype
". It is highly likely that the Boerhaave copy corresponds with Plumier (in Burman,
Pl. Amer
.: t. 153. 1758) and not the earlier t. 32. They designated the Boerhaave copy as the
lectotype
of
Gomphia
Schreber
, which falls into the synonymy of
Ouratea
Aubl.
