Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.

  • 1. Department of Botany, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, UK

Description

Rhamnus jujuba Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 194. 1753.

"Habitat in India." RCN: 1570.

Lectotype (Johnston in Milne-Redhead & Polhill, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Rhamnaceae: 29. 1972; Wadhwa in Dassanayake & Clayton, Revised Handb. Fl. Ceylon 10: 369. Herb. Hermann 3: 14, No. 89 (BM-000594656).

Current name: Ziziphus mauritiana Lam. (Rhamnaceae).

Note: Johnston (1972) indicated Herb. Hermann material (BM) as type. Although there is material in more than one volume, it appears to have been part of a single gathering. Consequently, this is accepted as the first typification (Art. 9.15), with the choice subsequently restricted by Wadhwa.
