Derrick Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Many of these inconsistencies have been explored in my latest book and some of them have already resulted in updates to important taxonomy databases. H. borneanum Becc. (Odoardo Beccari) published in Malesia Raccolta 2, p168, (1885) according to Tropicos, and still an accepted name in the WCSP database. However, in Malesia 2, it is actually the type description of H. horneanum Becc. Thus an obvious typographical error. Malesia 2. http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/151443#page/282/mode/1up. Furthermore, H. horneanum Becc. (Odoardo Beccari) in Malesia Raccolta, 2, (3) p168, (1885).(Malesia 2.) http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/44197826#page/282/mode/1up. (Beccari image on right.) http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/44197826#page/173/mode/1up. Is a A Fijian species name reduced to synonymy of H. longiflorum by Albert C. Smith (1988) in Flora Vitiensis Nova: A New Flora of Fiji, vol 4, pp241/4, (1988) in English. Beccari’s distinguishing characters to create this name are considered inconsequential by Smith. http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/30315606#page/251/mode/1up. http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/30315606#page/252/mode/1up. PS. This work is ongoing but I will be adding updates to future editions of my book. This forum requires financial support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
