Drypetes thouarsii (Baill.) Leandri View in CoL
In Humbert, Fl. Madag. 111: 157 (1958). — Cometia thouarsii Baill., Étude Gén. Euphorb. : 643 (1858). — Henribaillonia thouarsii (Baill.) Kuntze, Rev. Gen. 2: 607 (1891). — Type: Du Petit-Thouars s.n. (lecto-, P, designated here). Although LEANDRI (loc. cit.) indicates that this combination had been made earlier [i.e. in Mém. Inst. Sci. Madagascar, Sér. B, Biol. Vég. 8: 246 (1957)], the name occurs in that paper only in the key to species, and thus was not validly published there.
DISTRIBUTION. — Eastern forest.
Distinguished by its large leaves (10-17 cm long), 4 sepals, 4 stamens, 2 carpels, and large fruits (10-15 mm long).
