Pothos crenatusLinnaeus, Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 2: 1373. 1763.
"Habitat in insula S. Thomae." RCN: 7021.
Lectotype(Mayo in Kew Bull.36: 705. 1982): [icon] " Dracontium acaule, foliis lanceolatis, serratis" in Plumier in Burman, Pl. Amer.: 27, t. 39. 1756.
Note:Specific epithet spelled "crenata"in the protologue.
Lourteig (in Bradea5: 339. 1990) wrongly treated this as illegitimate, on the grounds that its type ( Burman'splate) was originally based on the Plumier plate that is the type of P. acaulisJacq. (1760). However, the protologue of Linnaeus'name did not include P. acaulisso, as names cannot be made illegitimate through typification, P. crenatusis legitimate.
