5. Erythrina mediterranea Vell., Fl. Flumin.: 305. 1829; Fl. Flumin Icon. 7: tab. 103. 1831.

Type.

Brazil. São Paulo: "silvis mediterraneis transalpinis prope praedium Boavista", s.d., s.leg. s.n. (lectotype, designated here: illustration in Biblioteca Nacional Digital Brasil [mss1198656_107]; also in Vellozo 1831, tab. 103).

Notes.

The species was poorly described in Vellozo (1829) and the accompanying illustration in Vellozo (1831) depicts a sterile branch from a specimen growing in the municipality of Cunha, state of São Paulo ( Pastore et al. 2021). According to Krukoff (1938), it could represent either E. crista-galli L. or E. falcata Benth. As it is impossible to even confirm it as Erythrina , the name remains unplaced.
