REMARKS

Brongniart & Gris (1862) originally used the spelling “ pirifolia ”, changing it to “ pyrifolia ” in 1864. This latter spelling is in agreement with the correct spelling of Pyrus L., the generic name on which it is based, and which is now in accordance with the Code (R. K. Brummitt pers. comm. July 2005). The name was given in error as “ pinifolia ” by Baker (1921: 302).

Pampanini (1905: 96) mentioned Vieillard 594 (Wagap, 1861-1867, Fem., G ex B-B, G ex DC, and CI [= Centrale Italiano at FI]) and Deplanche 594 Vieillard (Pouebo, 1861-1867, Fem., G ex DC) under Pancheria pyrifolia , and there are sheets of these at P and K, but they are excluded from being types of this name by the place and date of collection. Other material of Vieillard 594 p. p. includes the holotype of P. beauverdiana Pamp. and a lectoparatype of P. pulchella Pamp. Material of Vieillard 594 (Wagap 1861-1867) is also at LYJB.
