Mahernia verticillata
Linnaeus
,
Systema Naturae
, ed. 12, 2
: 227;
Mantissa Plantarum
: 59. 1767
.
"Habitat ad Cap. b. spei." RCN: 2259.
Neotype
(de Winter in
Bothalia
11: 264. 1974): Herb. Linn. No. 854.17 (
LINN
)
.
Generitype
of
Mahernia
Linnaeus.
Current name:
Hermannia pinnata
L.
(
Sterculiaceae
).
Note:
Winter wrongly referred to the LINN sheet as the
holotype
but as it is annotated only by Linnaeus filius, and there is no original material for the name, this is treated as a correctable error under Art. 9.8, and accepted as a
neotype
. Jarvis & al. (
Regnum Veg.
127: 63. 1993) wrongly gave the sheet number as
"634.17"
.
