5. Codia discolor (Brongn. F Gris) Guillaumin View in CoL

Bull. Soc. bot. France 87: 255 (1941). — Basionym : Codia obcordata Brongn. F Gris var. discolor Brongn. F Gris, Bull. Soc. View in CoL bot. France 9: 77 (1862). — Type (as given in protologue): “in montibus (Pancher)”. — Lectotype (here designated): Pancher s. n., pro parte ( P! [excluding part on left hand sides).

Five sheets at P collected by PANCHER lack a number and belong to this taxon. The label of one has both “ Codia obcordata Brongn. var. discolor Brongn. ” and “ Codia discolor Guillaumin ” in GUILLAUMIN’ s hand. However, the material appears to come from two different plants though both belong to the same species. The smaller piece on the right hand side is chosen here as the lectotype . Of the remaining sheets of Pancher s. n. at P, two have “ Codia discolor ” in GUILLAUMIN’ s hand but they have much larger leaves and are unlikely to be from the same plant as the lectotype . The other two sheets have nothing written by GUILLAUMIN on the label. These are syntypes.

Prior to 1941, specimens now identified as C. discolor had often been known as Codia floribunda ( GUILLAUMIN 1941: 254) , but as lectotypified here, that name belongs in the synonymy of C. montana .
