Fevillea trilobata Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 1014. 1753.

"Habitat in Brasilia, Jamaica." RCN: 7434.

Lectotype (Robinson & Wunderlin in Sida 21: 1990. 2005): [icon] "Ghandiroba vel Nhandiroba Brasiliensibus" in Marggraf, Hist. Rer. Nat. Bras.: 46. 1648.

Generitype of Fevillea Linnaeus.

Current name: Fevillea trilobata L. ( Cucurbitaceae).

Note: Fevillea cordifolia was treated as the generitype by Britton & Wilson (Sci. Surv. Porto Rico 6: 270. 1925) (see McNeill & al. in Taxon 36: 371. 1987). However, under Art. 10.5, Ex. 7 (a voted example) of the Vienna Code, this is a type choice made under the American Code and is to be replaced under Art. 10.5b by Green’s choice (Prop. Brit. Bot.:190. 1929) of F. trilobata L.
