Trilix lutea
Linnaeus
,
Mantissa Plantarum Altera
: 247. 1771
.
"Habitat Carthagenae Americes." RCN: 3815.
Type not designated.
Original material: none traced.
Generitype
of
Trilix
Linnaeus.
Current name:
Prockia crucis
L.
(
Flacourtiaceae
).
Note:
Sleumer (
Fl. Neotropica
22: 68. 1980) indicated unseen
Mutis
material at MA as
holotype
. Such material would not have been seen by Linnaeus and would not be original material for the name. However, if this material exists (it is unclear from
Sleumer's
statement if he knew it to exist or if he merely hoped it might be found at MA), it should be accepted as a
neotype
in accordance with Art. 9.8.
