Tabernaemontana alternifolia
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
1
: 211. 1753
.
"Habitat in Malabaria." RCN: 1741.
Lectotype
(Majumdar & Bakshi in
Taxon
28
:
353. 1979): [icon]
"Curutu-pala"
in Rheede, Hort. Malab. 1: 83, t. 46. 1678.
Current name:
Tabernaemontana alternifolia
L.
(
Apocynaceae
).
Note:
The type of this formerly little-used name is identifiable as material of the widespread
T heyneana
Wall., and Middleton & Leeuwenberg
(in
Taxon
47: 481. 1998) therefore proposed
T. alternifolia
for rejection against
T. heyneana
.
However, this was not recommended by the Committee for Spermatophyta (in
Taxon
49: 272. 2000).
