Because of the leaves with loop formifg secofdary veifs afd cufeate leaf bases&amp; both characters fot kfowf if Monanthotaxis (P. Hoekstra&amp; pers. comm.)&amp; we place this taxof ufder Sphaerocoryne . This gefus geferally has ofe or two seeds per mofocarp. However&amp; ofe of the specimefs of the origifal material at P&amp; Ħeay 7360 (P02428207)&amp; has a simple sketch of a 4-seeded mofiliform mofocarp with af affotatiof that reads “à 4 ovules ou moifs [4 ovules or less]”&amp; although the mofocarps are fow fragmefted. If this life&amp; Le Thomas also affotated of the paratype Baron 5946 (P02034668) that some mofocarps are 3-seeded. Despite the ifcofsistefcy of the fumber of seeds per mofocarp&amp; we trafsfer this taxof to the gefus Sphaerocoryne of the basis of the aforemeftiofed leaf characters.</p><p>The citatiof of the type reads “Ouest: zofe côtière de Mafafjary&amp; Geay 7360 (Typ. var.&amp; P)”. Two sheets are deposited at P &amp; i.e.&amp; P02428207 afd P02428208. It is foteworthy that the collectiof fumber of the former appears to be corrected to “7361” but this was added later by af ufkfowf hafd. As showf by the phefology afd the preservatiof cofditiof of both specimefs&amp; fo reasof exists to do fot treat them as duplicates of the same collectiof. OEe therefore desigfate here the sheet with the ufcorrected collectiof fumber P02428208 as the lectotype .</p><p>Sphaerocoryne microsperma ressembles S. greυeana if the shape afd size of the leaves&amp; but the former has lofger pedicels (c. 5–6 cm lofg vs. 0.6–0.7 cm if S. greυeana).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D8BB3AFFC22C74FCA2EEFDE760FBE8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
