[1446] Coussarea albescens (DC.) Müll.Arg. View in CoL View at ENA

Fl. Bras. [Martius] 6 (5): 87 [1 July 1881] ( Müller 1881), in obs. — Faramea albescens DC., Prodr. View in CoL [A. P. de Candolle] 4: 498 [late Sep. 1830] ( Candolle 1830).

Coussarea racemosa View in CoL A. Rich., Prodr. [A. P. de Candolle] 4: 494 [late Sep. 1830] ( Richard 1830).

NOTES. — The description and name of C. racemosa came from Richard (Dec. 1830: 177), the text of which Candolle had seen a preprint version. Thereafter Candolle (Sept. 1830: 498) cited Richard as the author of this name, so that in this case, the authority is “A.Rich.”, not “A.Rich. ex DC.” The names F. albescens and C. racemosa were published in the same volume and have thus equal priority. When transferring F. albescens to Coussarea Aubl., Müller (1881: 87) stated that it was synonymous with C. racemosa , and he chose C. albescens over C. racemosa , as indicated in the index of vol. 6 (5) of Flora Brasiliensis ( Müller 1888) where the former appears in normal type and the latter in italics (i.e. as a synonym). Under Art. 11.5 of the ICN ( Turland et al. 2018), we thus have to use C. albescens , relegating C. racemosa as its junior synonym.
