B13. Neocussonia staufferiana (Bernardi) Lowry, G.M. Plunkett, Gostel & Frodin View in CoL View at ENA , comb. nov.

÷ Schefflera staufferiana Bernardi View in CoL in Candollea 24: 110. 1969.

Typus: M ADAGASCAR. Prov. Fianarantsoa: Bassin de l’Itomampy, Mt. Papanga , près de Befotaka, [23°51’S 46°57’E], 2.XII.1928, fl., Humbert View in CoL 6922 (holo-: P [ P00442796 ]!; iso-: P [ P00442794 , P00442795 ]!) GoogleMaps .

Habitat and distribution. – Neocussonia staufferiana is fairly widespread in Madagascar, occurring in mid-elevation humid forest from Zahamena reserve south to Mt. Papanga and the Ivakoany massif, with an outlying population near Andapa in the NE ( MADAGASCAR CATALOGUE, 2017).

Notes. – The holotype of Schefflera staufferiana bears a type label clearly affixed by Bernardi in Geneva, making the annotation made by Frodin in 2001 designating this specimen as a lectotype superfluous, and in any case this choice was never published .
