Treatment

Premna serratifolia Linnaeus , Mantissa Plantarum Altera: 253. 1771, typ. cons.

"Habitat in India orientali." RCN: 4536.

Lectotype (Munir in J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 7: 13. 1984): Herb. Linn. No. 782.4 ( LINN) .

Generitype of Premna Linnaeus , nom. cons.

Current name: Premna serratifolia L. ( Lamiaceae ).

Note: Premna Linnaeus , nom. cons. against Appella Adans.

Merrill (in Philipp. Isl. Bur. Sci. Publ. 9: 450. 1917) and Fosberg (in Taxon 2: 89. 1952) treated this as a superfluous name for Cornutia corymbosa Burm. f. (1768) but this is erroneous. Moldenke & Moldenke (in Dassanayake & Fosberg, Revised Handb. Fl. Ceylon 4: 343. 1983) indicated unspecified material at LINN as type, but did not distinguish between three sheets there. Munir’s 1984 type choice is therefore accepted here.
