Notes. – Ventenat in Jardin de Malmaison (1805: sub tab. 91) noted: “ Java. Ex. Herbar. D.D. de Jussieu et Thouin”. In his revision of the genus Sterculia L. in Malesia, Tantra (1976) implicitly designated the lectotype at P, i.e. Thouin 462, that he had not seen [by mentioning n.v.], with a duplicate at LINN. The Smith herbarium at LINN contains several collection of the Thouin herbarium ( Stearn, 1988). It is not clear if these two collections given by Tantra (1976) as type material are duplicates of the same gathering. The Thouin herbarium contains several of Commerson’s collections but we prefer to designate the P-JU collection with a duplicate in the general collection in P as the lectotype. No collection has been found at G.
