Lectotype
(Huber in Dassanayake & Fosberg,

Note:
Fosberg & Sachet (in
Smithsonian Contr. Bot
. 24: 17. 1975) were cited by Smith (
Fl. Vitiensis Nova
2: 60. 1981) as indicating a Hermann collection as the type but they only referred to unseen and unspecified material. Although Huber indicated type material in more than one volume of the Hermann herbarium, it appears to have been part of a single gathering. Consequently, his is accepted as the first typification (Art. 9.15).
