Treatment

84. Euphorbia pachypodioides Boiteau View in CoL Bulletin trimestriel de l’Académie malgache 24: 87 (1942). — Euphorbia antankara Leandri, Notulae Systematicae View in CoL 12: 161 (1946), nom. illeg. — Type: “collines et plateaux calcaires de l’Ankarana (province de Diégo- Suarez), forêt tropophile, alt. 10-250 m, entre décembre 1937 et janvier 1938 ”, Humbert 18799 (lecto-, P! [P00078060], here designated).

REMARK

Boiteau has only written: “Plante récoltée par H. Humbert sur les rocailles calcaires de l’Ankarana (Ouest), mise en culture au Jardin botanique”. We chose to lectotypify Euphorbia pachypodioides on the only specimen available at P which matches exactly the text of Boiteau. The name Euphorbia antankara Leandri then becomes an illegitimate superfluous name for E. pachypodioides because Leandri based his name on the same specimen.
