Pisonia aculeata Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2 : 1026. 1753 Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part P) Jarvis, Charlie L. Linnaeus 1753 Magnoliopsida Nyctaginaceae Pisonia Plantae Caryophyllales Tracheophyta species aculeata      Pisonia aculeataLinnaeus,  Species Plantarum2: 1026. 1753.  "Habitat in America meridionali." RCN: 7709.   Lectotype(Smith, Fl. Vitiensis Nova2: 269. 1981): [icon] "  Pisonia" in Plumier, Nov. Pl. Amer.: 7, t. 11. 1703.   Generitypeof  PisoniaLinnaeus(vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 191. 1929).   Note:Stemmerik (in Blumea12: 284. 1964) stated that the name was "based on" a Plumier plate (t. 11) and Smith ( Fl. Vitiensis Nova2: 269. 1981) accepted this element as the lectotype, attributing the choice to Stemmerik. This typification is accepted as dating from 1981. Diaz (in Rev. Jard. Bot. Nac. Univ. Habana9: 9-13. 1988) reviewed the original elements in detail, reproducing most of the relevant original text and illustrations (f. 1-5), although her conclusion that the later Plumier plate (in Burman, Pl. Amer.: t. 227, f. 1. 1760) should be the type is pre-dated by Smith'schoice.
