4. Codia montana Labill. ex D.Don

Edinburgh New Philos. J. 9: 94 (1830), nom. inval., pro syn. sub Callicoma billardierei D.Don.

D O N (1 8 3 0) mentioned the name Codia montana twice, once as a taxon in its own right, attributed to “Forst.” (p. 95), and once as a synonym of Callicoma billardierei (p. 94), attributed to “Labill. MSS”, indicating he had seen a specimen from LABILLARDIÈRE in LAMBERT’ s herbarium. While the concept of C. montana in LABILLARDIÈRE (1824) was conspecific with that of the FORSTERS, a collection by him at P is a mixture of C. montana with a small fragment of a Pancheria , which might account for the confusion. A LABILLARDIÈRE specimen with fruits at BM, which may be that from LAMBERT’ s herbarium but is not definitely so, is labelled “ Codia montana ”, “ Callicoma billardierei D.Don ”, and “ Pancheria billardierei ” and is indeed a Pancheria . Callicoma billardierei is the basionym of Pancheria billardierei (D.Don) Pamp.
