Typification of the name Litsea mackeei (nee Lauraceae) and its reassignment to the synonymy of Osmanthus austrocaledonicus var. austrocaledonicus Munzinger Jérôme auteur aut IRD McPherson G. auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng text/pdf reformatted digital access The protologue of Litsea mackeei states that its holotype is at P. However, two specimens bearing the type number appear to exist at P, the second specimen belonging to a species different from the first and bearing as well a label with a different collection number. Fortunately, a clear indication of which plant Kostermans was describing is provided by his handwritten annotation of the isotype at L. A lectotype is therefore chosen, the name is synonymized with Osmanthus austrocaledonicus var. austrocaledonicus and the origin of this unlikely error is discussed. specialized nomenclature New Caledonia NOUVELLE CALEDONIE 076 Phytotaxa 331 1 137-143 2017 1179-3155 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010071915 10.11646/phytotaxa.331.1.13 1179-3155 [F B010071915] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010071915 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers18-01/010071915.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2018-02-05 2023-07-11 fdi:010071915 fre
