Description

Cordia myxa Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 190. 1753, typ. cons.

"Habitat in Aegypto, Malabaria." RCN: 1521.

Conserved type (Warfa in Compreh. Summ. Uppsala Diss. Fac. Sci. 174: 44. 1988): Herb. Linn. No. 94.5 (S).

Generitype of Cordia Linnaeus, nom. cons.

Current name: Cordia myxa L. (Boraginaceae).

Note: Cordia myxa, with the type proposed by Warfa (but erroneously attributed to Verdcourt), was proposed as conserved type of the genus by Jarvis (in Taxon 41: 561. 1992). This was eventually approved by the General Committee (see review of the history of this proposal by Barrie, l.c. 55: 795-796. 2006).
