Lagerstroemia nervosa Pierre ex Laness.

Les Plantes utiles des Colonies françaises: 322 (1886). NOTE

We have not found a specimen in P or in another herbarium representing this taxon. The protologue describes a tree 30-35 m tall, with a 40-60 cm wide trunk. Moreover is indicated that it has the same wood characteristics as Lagerstroemia petiolaris . We received the following additional information from Thierry Deroin (P): “in the Louis Pierre’s slide library at P, are kept 4 slides of Lagerstroemia sp. (2 for wood anatomy, 1 for petiole, 1 for lamina), associated with an envelope with rough anatomical sketches and a reference to ‘ Pierre 1819 ’ (possibly a specimen?). In the general collection, however, the latter is not present”.
