[1488] Posoqueria gracilis (Rudge) Roem. & Schult. View in CoL

Syst. Veg. [Roemer & Schultes] 5: 227 [Dec. 1819] (Roemer & Schultes 1819). — Solena gracilis Rudge, Pl. Guian. [Rudge] 1 (3): 27 [June 1805] (Rudge 1805). — Tocoyena gracilis (Rudge) View in CoL A.Rich., Mém. Rubiac.: 167 [Dec. 1830] ( Richard 1830). — Posoqueria latifolia subsp. gracili s (Rudge) Steyerm., Mem. New York Bot. Gard. 17 (1): 327 (Steyermark 1967).

NOTE. — Even though volume 5 of the Systema vegetabilium was published shortly after Roemer’s death, Schultes’ foreword clearly confirms Roemer’s prominent role. Therefore, contrary to Stafleu & Cowan’s recommendation (1983: TL-2-9408), most names should be ascribed to Roemer and Schultes, not Schultes alone.
