Stemodia durantifolia Sw.

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

Description

Capraria oppositifolia Linnaeus, Flora Jamaicensis: 18. 1759.

"Habitat [in Jamaica.]"

Lectotype (designated here by Sutton): [icon] " Veronica caule hexangulari foliis saturiae ternis, serratis " in Sloane, Voy. Jamaica 1: 196, t. 124. 1725. - Typotype: Herb. Sloane 3: 113 (BM-SL).

Current name: Stemodia durantifolia (L.) Sw. (Scrophulariaceae).

Note: This name is validated solely by a reference to the description of "Phaelypea I" in Browne’s Civ. Nat. Hist. Jamaica: 269 (1756). Turner & Cowan (in Phytologia 74: 74. 1993) treated this description as the lectotype but this is contrary to Art. 8.1. Although Browne did not illustrate this plant, he did cite an illustration from Sloane in synonymy and this is now designated here as the lectotype.
