Rogers, Zachary S., 2006, A new species of Malagasy Gnidia and the lectotypification of Octolepis decalepis (Thymelaeaceae), Adansonia (3) 28 (1), pp. 155-160 : 159

LECTOTYPIFICATION OF OCTOLEPIS DECALEPIS GILG

Octolepis Oliv. (Thymelaeaceae) was recently revised by Rogers (2005). In that publication, the name O. decalepis Gilg , appearing as a new synonym of the continental African O. casearia Oliv. var. casearia , was not effectively lectotypified in accordance with Art. 7.11 of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature ( Greuter et al. 2000) because the only material mentioned (a duplicate of Dinklage 1741 deposited at B) was mistakenly cited as the “holo- [type]” and the words “here designated” or their equivalent were omitted.Two collections, Dinklage 1741 and 1860, were cited in the protologue ( Gilg 1899), the first of which is hereby designated as the lectotype.
