"Habitat in America meridionali." RCN: 7709. Lectotype (Smith, Fl. Vitiensis Nova 2: 269. 1981): [icon] " Pisonia " in Plumier, Nov. Pl. Amer.: 7, t. 11. 1703. Generitype of Pisonia Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot .: 191. 1929). Current name: Pisonia aculeata L. ( Nyctaginaceae ). Note: Stemmerik (in Blumea 12: 284. 1964) stated that the name was "based on" a Plumier plate (t. 11) and Smith ( Fl. Vitiensis Nova 2: 269. 1981) accepted this element as the lectotype , attributing the choice to Stemmerik. This typification is accepted as dating from 1981. Diaz (in Rev. Jard. Bot. Nac. Univ. Habana 9: 9-13. 1988) reviewed the original elements in detail, reproducing most of the relevant original text and illustrations (f. 1-5), although her conclusion that the later Plumier plate (in Burman, Pl. Amer .: t. 227, f. 1. 1760) should be the type is pre-dated by Smith's choice.
