Distribution and ecology. –
Lepidocupania myrmoctona
is endemic to Grande Terre, where it is abundant along the east coast and grows in dense humid forest, mostly on nonultramafic substrate (schist), but it has also been recorded in montane ecosystems in the main southern ultramafic massif (
ADEMA, 1991
).
Notes. –
Cupaniopsis myrmoctona
was described based on “Labillardière (Hb. Webb, Hook., Deless.)” (
RADLKOFER, 1879b: 588
).
ADEMA (1991: 140)
designated material from G as the
lectotype
. A second step lectotypification is, however, required because the original material at G comprises three sheets originating from three different herbaria: Delessert [G00019027], Moricand [G00341590], and Ventenat [G00341584]. Ventenat’s herbarium was originally part of the Delessert herbarium (
CALLMANDER et al., 2017
) and both [G00019027] and [G00341584] are annotated in Radlkofer’s hand: “
Cupaniopsis myrmoctona
m. Radlk.”. Here we designate the most complete and best-preserved sheet [G00019027], originating from the Delessert herbarium, as the
lectotype
.
