4. Erythrina corallodendrum Vell., Fl. Flumin.: 304. 1829; Fl. Flumin Icon. 7: tab. 101. 1831, auct., non L., Sp. Pl. 2: 706. 1753.

Notes.

Vellozo (1829) included a species called " E. corallodendrum " in his treatment of Brazilian Erythrina in Florae Fluminensis, with a description and an illustration published later in Vellozo (1831), but without mentioning any type specimen. This citation was then considered to be a record of the occurrence of E. corallodendrum L. in Brazil rather than a new publication of the same name. Hence, there is no record of this name in any digital databases. However, Lima (1995) mentioned this name as being authored by Vellozo and placed it as a synonym of E. speciosa . The description and illustration given by Vellozo undoubtedly depict the unique morphological features of E. speciosa, but according to Recommendation 50D of Chapter VI of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), "misidentifications should not be included in synonymies but added after them", so we exclude the name here.
