Aspidosperma illustre (Vell.) Kuhlm. & Pirajá in Arch. Jard. Bot. Rio de Janeiro 4: [375]. 1925.

≡ Coutinia illustris Vell., Quinogr. Portug.: 166. 1799.

Holotype:—Tab. 10, Tab. 10A–C, illustration: Vell., Quinogr. Portug., 1799 .

Notes — Vellozo (1799) stated in the protologue of Coutinia illustris that its description was based on the illustration published concurrently by him. Thus, since no physical specimen was indicated for C. illustris and we have not been able to locate any potential original specimens, we consider that the illustration presented by Vellozo (1799) is the holotype of A. illustre .
