9. Geissois polyphylla Lécard ex Guillaumin

Bulletin de la Société botanique de France 87: 244 (dated 1940, published 1941); Lécard in Lemire , La colonisation française en Nouvelle-Calédonie et Dépendances: 346 (1878), nom. inval., nom. nud.; Jeanneney, Nouvelle-Calédonie agricole: 97 (1894), nom. inval., nom. nud.; Guillaumin, Annales du Musée colonial de Marseille, sér.2, 9: 138 (1911a), nom. inval., nom. nud. — Types (as given in protologue): “Sans localité (Lecard [sic] 61-71 B), hauts plateaux 1.200 m. (Lecard [sic]), Uaraï (Lecard [sic])”. — Lectotype (of Hoogland ined.) (here designated): Uaraï, forêts de l’intérieur, 800 m, s.dat., reçu 20.X.1879, Lécard s.n. ( P!

The remaining syntypes at P (Lécard 61-71B, s.loc., s.dat., [fr.] and Lécard s.n., hauts plateaux, 1200 m, s.dat., [ster.]) are G. polyphylla with the exclusion of the inflorescences on both sheets, which belong to G. hippocastanifolia .

Remarks

Guillaumin (1941) published the name as “ G. polyphylla [Lecard (sic)] ex Jeanneney (nomen)” and thus ascribed the name to both Lécard and Jeanneney. He had already used the name himself in 1911 when he ascribed it to “Lecard [sic] mss.” though he cited the specimen as “ Lecard [sic] 66-71 B ”, apparently in error; Lécard 66-71, without the superscript B, is a separate collection, of G. balansae .
