Canarium indicum
Linnaeus
,
Amoenitates Academicae
4
: 143. 1759
.
Type not designated.
Original material: [icon] in Rumphius, Herb. Amboin. 2: t. 47-56. 1741.
Generitype
of
Canarium
Linnaeus.
Current name:
Canarium indicum
L.
(
Burseraceae
).
Note:
See comments by Merrill (
Interpret. Rumph. Herb. Amb.
: 301. 1917) who abandoned
C. indicum
on the grounds that Linnaeus had cited under it all the species of
Canarium
figured by Rumphius (t. 47 to t. 56 inclusive), and had later taken up
C.
commune
L. (1767)
for just one of them. However, Leenhouts (in
Blumea
9: 329. 1959) accepted
C
.
indicum
both as a valid name and as the
generitype
. His designation of a
neotype
(p. 360), though, is contrary to Art. 9.11 because original material (the cited Rumphius plates) exists.
