Description

Securidaca volubilis Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 1155. 1759, nom. illeg.

RCN: 5165.

Neotype (Adams in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 87. 1993): Jamaica. Red Hill, St Andrew, 1,000ft, 26 Dec 1914, W. Harris 11838 (BM-000566451).

Generitype of Securidaca Linnaeus 1759, nom. cons.

Current name: Securidaca brownei Griseb. (Polygalaceae).

Note: Securidaca Linnaeus (1759, Polygalaceae), nom. cons. against Securidaca Linnaeus (1753, Fabaceae), nom. rej.

Securidaca volubilis L. (1759) is a later homonym of S. volubilis L. (1753), and hence illegitimate. See Oort (in Rec. Trav. Bot. Néerl. 36: 678-680. 1939) for a discussion of the complexities of this case. Oort regarded three sheets of material at LINN (883.1-883.3) as comprising the type material and, though apparently restricting this to the two sheets (883.1, 883.2) representing a member of the Polygalaceae, rather than the one (883.3) of the Leguminosae, this is not an effective typification. Neither 883.1 nor 883.2 is original material for the name. In the absence of any original material, Adams designated a more recent neotype.
