Description

Rhizophora mangle Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 443. 1753.

"Habitat in paludibus Caribaearum, Malabariae." RCN: 3433.

Type not designated.

Original material: [icon] in Rheede, Hort. Malab. 6: 91, t. 34. 1686; [icon] in Plumier, Nov. Pl. Amer.: 13, t. 15. 1703.

Generitype of Rhizophora Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 157. 1929).

Current name: Rhizophora mangle L. (Rhizophoraceae).

Note: Fawcett & Rendle (Fl. Jamaica 5: 300. 1926) noted the presence of material in LINN but did not refer to it as the type, despite the attribution of Nicolson & al. (in Regnum Veg. 119: 217. 1988) of a typification to these authors. Keay (in Kew Bull. 8: 123. 1953) designated material in Herb. Sloane (BM-SL) as lectotype, but as it was neither seen by Linnaeus, nor was it even the basis for a Sloane illustration, it is not original material for the name.
