Rajania quinata Thunb. ex Houtt., Nat. Hist. II(11): Aanwyz. Plaat. [3], 366, tab. 75, fig. 1. 1779. ≡ Akebia quinata (Thunb. ex Houtt.) Decne. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. sér. 2, 12: 107. 1839 . Lectotypus (designated here by Callmander & Veldkamp): JAPAN : Thunberg s.n. ( G-PREL [ G00818075 ]!; isolecto- : G-PREL [ G00818076 , G00818077 ]!, UPS- THUNB n° 23530 and n° 23531 images seen). Notes . – DECAISNE (1839: 107) based his new combination on “Thunb. Fl. Jap. p. 148”, which should be corrected to Thunberg in MURRAY (1784: 888) , but this is still a later homonym of Houttuyn’s name. The original collection designated here as the lectotype is in the Japan herbarium, collected and annotated by Thunberg. It is not a very good match for the plate. On the same page Houttuyn mentioned Rajania quinquefolia , this name is written on the sheet as well. This is a West Indian species. Isolectotypes are present in the Houttuyn herbarium (G-PREL [G00818076]), the Burman herbarium (G-PREL [G00818077]), and the Thunberg herbarium (UPS-THUNB n° 23530 and n° 23531).
