Remarks

This name is not recorded in Tropicos (http://www.tropicos.org, accessed on 24 Jul. 2018) and IPNI (http://www.ipni.org, accessed on 24 Jul. 2018) only records it as a nomen nudum (Teijsmann & Binnendijk 1866). The species was validly published by Teijsmann & Binnendijk (1863). Original material has been searched at BO, KRB, L, and U, but none has been found and it is possible that the species was described based on a live plant only.
