"Habitat in paludibus Caribaearum, Malabariae." RCN: 3433. Type not designated. Original material: [icon] in Rheede, Hort. Malab. 6: 91, t. 34. 1686; [icon] in Plumier, Nov. Pl. Amer.: 13, t. 15. 1703. Generitype of Rhizophora Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot. : 157. 1929). Current name: Rhizophora mangle L. ( Rhizophoraceae ). Note: Fawcett & Rendle ( Fl. Jamaica 5: 300. 1926) noted the presence of material in LINN but did not refer to it as the type, despite the attribution of Nicolson & al. (in Regnum Veg. 119: 217. 1988) of a typification to these authors. Keay (in Kew Bull. 8: 123. 1953) designated material in Herb. Sloane ( BM-SL ) as lectotype , but as it was neither seen by Linnaeus, nor was it even the basis for a Sloane illustration, it is not original material for the name.
