Description

Pothos crenatus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 2: 1373. 1763.

"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.
