— Type: New Caledonia, [Wagap, bords de la rivière d ’ Amoa,] E. Vieillard 2278 (lecto-, designated by Vink [1990], P [P00062050]; iso-, GH, K, MEL, NY, P [×4], Z).

Zygogynum pancheri subsp. rivulare (Vieill. ex P.Parm.) Vink: Blumea 34: 518 (1990) (Vink 1990, 1993).

REMARKS

There is a Vieillard 2278 specimen received from Melbourne that is annotated by Parmentier, but in the text he also refers “No 4 Drimys Nova Caledonia Paucher [?Pancher], Arbrisseau, fleur d’un brun rose” to D. rivularis . Though this specimen has not been located, it must be considered a syntype. Therefore the reference by Vink (1990) to Vieillard 2278 as the type of D. rivularis, in tandem with his annotation of P00062050 as the holotype, must be considered a lectotypification.
