Dorstenia drakena Linnaeus 1759

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

Description

Dorstenia drakena Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 899. 1759.

["Habitat in Vera Cruce."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 1: 176 (1762). RCN: 992.

Type not designated.

Original material: [icon] in Houstoun in Philos. Trans. 37(421): 196, f. 1. 1733.

Current name: Dorstenia drakena L. (Moraceae).

Note: Although Berg (Fl. Neotropica 83: 203. 2001) indicated Houstoun s.n. (BM) as the holotype, it is most unlikely that Linnaeus could have seen this material and, with the existence of a cited illustration as original material, the Houstoun collection cannot serve as a neotype.
