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

Description

Zanonia indica Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 1292. 1759.

["Habitat in Malabaria."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 2: 1457 (1763). RCN: 7432.

Lectotype (Keraudren-Aymonin in Aubréville & Leroy, Fl. Cambodge Laos Viêt-Nam 15: 18. 1975; Chakravarty in Jain & al. in Fasc. Fl. India 11: 126. 1982): [icon] " Penar-valli mas " in Rheede, Hort. Malab. 8: 39, t. 49. 1688.

Generitype of Zanonia Linaneus.

Current name: Zanonia indica L. (Cucurbitaceae).

Note: Although Zanonia dates from 1753, the account of this species (in Sp. Pl. 2: 1028) omitted any specific epithet, so Z. indica dates from 1759. Keraudren-Aymonin (in Aubréville & Leroy, Fl. Cambodge Laos Viêt-Nam 15: 18. 1975) indicated all three of the cited Rheede plates (t. 47-49) as type. This choice was restricted to t. 49 by Chakravarty, pre-dating that of Jeffrey (in Regnum Veg. 127: 100. 1993) who restricted it to t. 47.
