Syzygium thouvenotii (Danguy) Byng View in CoL , comb. & stat. nov.

≡ Eugenia condensata var. thouvenotii Danguy View in CoL in Lecomte, Bois Analamaz.: 106. 1922.

Typus: M ADAGASCAR. Prov. Toamasina: Analamazoatra, 1919, Thouvenot 124 (holo-: P [ P00118091 ]!; iso-: K [ K000771835 ]!, MO [ MO-313641 ]!, P [ P00118092 ]!).

Notes. ‒ Syzygium thouvenotii is widespread in the eastern and northern humid forests of Madagascar from (200-) 1000- 1680 m. Plants from higher elevation bear smaller leaves, and Randrianaivo 720 (MO, P) has leaves larger than most other material, and occurs at a much lower altitude (200 m). Authorship of this taxon has been attributed to “Danguy ex Lecomte”, however LECOMTE (1922) clearly attributed its authorship to Pierre Danguy, therefore following ICN Art. 46.2 Danguy’s name alone is the correct citation.
