, the specimens of Afzelius in the Lambert Herbarium were purchased by William Pamplin, working on commission for Wilhelm Friedrich Klotzsch, who acquired the specimens for the Berlin herbarium. An Afzelius specimen, identifiable as this species, survives at B, but the specimen has both flowers and fruits, and only flowers are mentioned in the protologue. The fruits and seeds are not attached to the twigs, and it is possible that they became associated with the specimen later. We initially labeled the B sheet as an isotype, pending a better understanding of the distribution of the Lambert Herbarium collections, but it is now clear that this specimen, and specifically the branches with flowers attached, is more appropriately designated as a
