Duranta buxifolia Poiret (1811: 528) View in CoL

Type (lectotype, designated here):—[ UNITED STATES OF AMERICA]. Saint-Thomas Island, 1797, M. Ledru 184 ( P barcode 00675530 [digital image!], isolectotype P barcode 02886036 [digital image!]).

Protologue citation:—“Cette plante croît à l’île de Saint-Thomas, où elle a été recueillie par M. Ledru.”

Notes:—Jean L. M. Poiret worked in herbarium P (Stafleu & Cowan 1983) where two specimens collected by Ledru,

with original labels were found. For these reasons the specimen showing the best quality of preservation of the important diagnostic features of the taxon was chosen as lectotype (Art. 9.17 of the ICN, McNeill et al. 2012, McNeill 2014).
