Notes. – This species is found on Viti Levu and Kandavu in Fiji (SMITH & DARWIN, 1988). The type of this name was originally said to be deposited at “USNA” ( FOSBERG, 1942; today NA), but was later cited by SMITH & DARWIN (1988) as being at US. Two specimens in the US collection correspond to the original diagnosis and were previously deposited at NA. These sheets are identified as two parts of one collection, and the first sheet is annotated as the type of this name in Fosberg’s writing. Of these two specimens, the first sheet (US- 2333966) has several inflorescences while the second sheet (US-2333967) is sterile. An additional duplicate at US of this type collection (US-1759503) was not part of the NA collection, was not annotated by Fosberg, and is clearly an isotype.
