NOTES. — Moronobea coccinea Aubl. has often been treated as a synonym of Symphonia globulifera L.f., because Aublet’s plate 313 (1775) mixes elements of M. coccinea (habit and fig. 1-9) and S. globulifera (fig. a-j). However, the original specimen at BM (BM000611835) is not a mixture, and the name does not apply to the S. globulifera elements on plate 313.
