Clementi, Moreno, Kuzmanović, Nevena, Barina, Zoltan, Lakušić, Dmitar & Vukojičić, Snežana, 2014, Typification of five names listed by Roberto de Visiani in Plantarum Serbicarum Pemptas, Phytotaxa 170 (1), pp. 57-60 : 59

Acer macropterum Visiani (1860: 175)

Type:— SERBIA. M. [Monte] Jastrebac S. mer. [Serbia meridionalis], Aug [August] 1856, Pančić s.n. (lectotype designated here: BEOU 3798 !) .

Additional specimens examined:— SERBIA. Jastrebac, J. Pančić, Aug [Augusto] - 1856 ( BEOU 3798!).

Note: — This specimen fits with the protologue and was collected before its publication, being therefore suitable for typification. The new label was written by Pančić after Visiani formally described the new species. This taxon is now generally included in Acer heldreichii Orph. ex Boissier (1856: 71) , sometimes as A. heldreichii subsp. visianii Malý (1908: 219) , e.g. in Tutin (1968) or A. heldreichii var. macropterum (Vis.) Pax (1886: 194) , e.g. in Perović (2007). When he created the subspecies, Malý intended to base his name on Acer visianii Nyman (1878: 135) , but that is an illegitimate replacement for Visiani’s name, that Nyman created as he attributed priority to “ A. macropterum Gussone ”, which apparently was never published. Therefore, according to Art. 7.5, 7.7 and 7.3 of the ICN ( McNeill et al. 2012), the type of A. macropterum that we have selected is also the type of A. heldreichii subsp. visianii and A. heldreichii var. macropterum , two names now in use. A fossil species from England was given the name Acer macropterum Heer (1869: 37) . It was renamed Acer grahamensis Knowlton & Cockerell in Knowlton (1919: 50) to correct the homonymy. A new species from Tibet was described under the name Acer macropterum T.Z.Hsu & H.Sun in Xu et al. (1997: 29). It is now generally considered a synonym of Acer laurinum Hasskarl (1843: 138) , see for instance Wu et al. (2008), therefore we do not propose any replacement name here.
