Cycas circinalis
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
2
: 1188. 1753
.
"Habitat in India." RCN: 7736.
Lectotype
(Stevenson in Jarvis & al.,
Regnum Veg.
127: 40. 1993): [icon]
"Todda-panna"
in Rheede, Hort. Malab. 3: 9, t. 19. 1682 (see pp. 154-155).
Generitype
of
Cycas
Linnaeus.
Current name:
Cycas circinalis
L.
(
Cycadaceae
).
Note:
Stapf (in
Bull. Misc. Inform. Kew
1916(12): 1-8. 1916) referred to
Rheede's
t. 13-21 as "the accepted basis of
Linnaeus'
species".
Rheede's
nine plates represent a number of different taxa (see Hill in
Taxon
44: 23-31. 1995) and, for this reason, Stevenson designated
Rheede's
t. 19 as
lectotype
.
