NOTES. — Excluded synonym: Nectandra revoluta Miq. ex Rohwer (1993: 302) , nom. nud. Duplicates of Pl. Surinam. 629bb distributed under A.Kappler’s name (M, MPU, P[P00756833], S, U[U0002941]) bear on the original label “ Nectandra revoluta Miq. ” (This is not the case for the duplicates distributed under Hostmann’s name). A label by C.K. Allen dated 1970 affixed to the S duplicate wrongly states that this specimen is an isotype of N. revoluta , and that this name is a synonym of Oreodaphne marowynensis Miquel (1851: 201) . With respect to the latter name, Miquel originally wrote (1851: 201): “ Nectandra revoluta a me perperam dicta” (“which I wrongly called N. revoluta ”). Therefore, A. Kappler 629bb is not the type of N. revoluta , which is a nomen nudum and is not a synonym of O. marowynensis .
