REMARKS

The evidence that Brongniart & Gris’s name Pancheria ternata , published in 1862, is not based on Montrouzier’s name Callicoma ternata , published in 1860, is discussed above under the latter name. Both names appear to refer to the same species, for which Pancheria ternata Brongn. & Gris is the currently accepted name.

The lectotype and isolectotype of Pancheria ternata are in poor condition and not easy to interpret. A third sheet at P, P00479448, has two fragments; the lower one is Vieillard 590 (Balade, 1855-1860) with leaves similar to those of the lectotype but with female flowers, not fruits, and it is possibly an isolectotype. The upper fragment is [Pancher] 46461 with galled/teratological flowers (see discussion of Vieillard 590 under Taxonomic history of Pancheria ).
