REMARKS

Although Brongniart & Gris (1862) stated that the specimen number 633 was collected by Pancher, his name is not on the sheet. The type material at P consists of three sheets. The lectotype and P00143088 each have single fragments of [Pancher] 633 (“ B ”), and the second sheet has two fragments with male flowers (“ A ”) labelled “ Vieillard 600, Kanala, 1855-60”, which are lectoparatypes. The third sheet is a mixture of “ A ” (♂ fl. + label) and material with fruits, but latter has no label and so is not definitely an isolectotype .

Other sheets with the number Vieillard 600 at BM, K and P are excluded from being types. Some with Vieillard labels have the locality Mt Dore , either on its own or on the same label as Kanala, and some have Deplanche labels (Deplanche 600 Vieillard) indicating “Baie de Tupiti, Rivière de Toon’du”, or Kanala .
