29. Pancheria pinnata Pamp. [ var. pinnata ]

Annali di Botanica ( Rome) 2: 100 (1905) . — Type (as given in protologue): “Austro-Caledonia – ex Herb. Labillardière – specimen masc. – (W)”. — Holotype: s.loc., s.dat., ♂ fl.?, Labillardière s.n. (FI [image]! [labelled 1971.jpg] Herb. Webbianum 060959; possible iso-, P! P00143089 p.p., quoad fragm. “B”, excl. fragm. “A”); see Appendix 1.

REMARKS

As mentioned in the Introduction, this name appears to be based on juvenile foliage, of Pancheria billardierei . Further details of the holotype and possible isotype are given in Appendix 1. In the protologue, W refers to the Webb herbarium at FI, and the citation of the holotype includes the number of the jpg file supplied by FI ; both of these considerations apply to other types based on Labillardière material at FI.

When publishing this name, Pampanini (1905) made no reference to “ Pancheria pinnata Vieill. mss”, in contrast to Guillaumin (1911a: 136), Baker (1921) and Engler (1928) who all invalidly published “ Pancheria pinnata Vieill. ”, and elsewhere in this paper (i.e. Pampanini 1905), Pampanini referred to “Vieill. in sched. [nom. nud.]” when he was taking up a Vieillard name. Therefore this name must be attributed to Pampanini alone, and not to “Vieill. ex Pamp.”.

Guillaumin made various references to Pancheria pinnata Pamp. , for example “ P. pinnata Pampan. =? P. insignis Schltr. ” ( Guillaumin 1911a: 137) and “ P. pinnata Pampan. , non Vieill. mss. = P. hirsuta Vieill. ex Pampan. = P. insignis Schltr. = P. robusta Brong. et Gris mss” ( Guillaumin 1941: 251). The names P. pinnata Pamp. and P. pinnata Vieill. mss refer to different taxa, and it is the latter, invalidly published by Guillaumin and others, that is the same as P. hirsuta and P. insignis (see Invalidly published names).

Guillaumin (1941: 251) referred Lécard 1, Lécard 4 (both s.loc.) and Lécard s.n. (“hauts plateaux”) to Pancheria pinnata Pamp. The specimens at P are all sterile and none is conspecific with Pampanini’s type; they belong to an undescribed species that is common on the Plateau de Dogny (Hopkins et al. in press) .
