"Habitat in insula S. Thomae." RCN: 7021. Lectotype (Mayo in Kew Bull. 36: 705. 1982): [icon] " Dracontium acaule , foliis lanceolatis, serratis " in Plumier in Burman, Pl. Amer.: 27, t. 39. 1756. Current name: Anthurium crenatum (L.) Kunth ( Araceae ). Note: Specific epithet spelled "crenata" in the protologue. Lourteig (in Bradea 5: 339. 1990) wrongly treated this as illegitimate, on the grounds that its type ( Burman's plate) was originally based on the Plumier plate that is the type of P. acaulis Jacq. (1760) . However, the protologue of Linnaeus' name did not include P. acaulis so, as names cannot be made illegitimate through typification, P. crenatus is legitimate.
