Treatment

Antidesma alexiteria Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 1027. 1753.

"Habitat in India ." RCN: 25.

Lectotype (Mandai & Panigrahi in J. Econ. Taxon. Bot. 4: 257. 1983): [icon] " Noeli-tali " in Rheede, Hort. Malab. 4: 115, t. 56. 1683.

Generitype of Antidesma Linnaeus.

Current name: Antidesma alexiteria L. View in CoL View at ENA ( Euphorbiaceae ).

Note: Philcox (in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 19. 1993), followed by Chakrabarty & Gangopadhyay (in J. Econ. Taxon. Bot. 24: 1, 11. 2000), designated a Hermann collection (vol. 2: 67, No. 357, BM) as lectotype. However, Philcox’s choice appears to be preceded by that of Mandal & Panigrahi (in J. Econ. Taxon. Bot. 4: 257. 1983) who treated Rheede’s cited t. 56 as the “iconotype”. A further complication may be the identity of the plate - Nicolson & al. ( Regnum Veg. 119: 105. 1988) identify it as A. menasu (Tulasne) Müll.-Arg.
