Sloanea dentata
Linnaeus

.
"Habitat in America meridionali." RCN: 3860.
Lectotype
(Bornstein in Howard,
Fl. Lesser Antilles
5: 181. 1989): [icon]
"Sloana"
in Plumier, Nov. Pl. Amer.: 48, t. 15. 1703.
Generitype
of
Sloanea
Linnaeus
(vide Green,
Prop. Brit. Bot
.: 161. 1929).
Current name:
Sloanea dentata
L.
(
Elaeocarpaceae
).
Note:
Smith (in
Contr. Gray Herb.
175: 65. 1954) stated "based on a Plumier plate and description", but this is insufficiently explicit to be accepted as a formal typification. Bornstein (in Howard,
Fl. Lesser Antilles
5: 181. 1989), however, treated the plate as the type (while attributing the choice to Smith), so the typification dates from 1989.
