Pisonia aculeata
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
2
: 1026. 1753
.
"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.
