Description
Erechtites valerianifolius DC. (1838: 295).
Distribution: a native of troical America, invasive in other tropical regions.
= Senecio boninsimae Yatabe (1893: 1–3)
Lectotype (designated here)—Bot. Mag. (Tokyo) vol. 7, plate II. 1893.
No specimens were cited in the protologue of Senecio boninsimae, but one detailed drawing (plate II) was provided. Kitamura (1934) recorded this name as a synonym for Erechtites valerianifolius DC., citing “Bonin (S. Nishimura)”. The specimens collected by S. Nishimura were found at TI, but specimens collected before 1893 have not been found in any herbaria. Because we have not found adequate specimens that could serve as the type of this taxon in any herbaria, “plate II” should be regarded as the lectotype (ICBN Art. 9.2.).
