Clarification on the typification of Eugenia discifera View in CoL

Eugenia discifera Gamble (1918: 239) View in CoL .

Type citation in protologue:—“SOUTH INDIA. Evergreen forests of the Western Ghats in Travancore, near Chimunji, 1300 m., April, 1895, T. F. Bourdillon, 580, 787”.

Lectotype (designated by Nair & Srinivasan 1980): INDIA. Travancore : near Chimunji, 1300 m, 3 April 1895, T.F. Bourdillon 580 ( CAL0000015511 !; isolectotypes CAL0000015510!, K000821387 [digital image!]).

Remaining syntype:— INDIA. Travancore: near Chimunji, 1300 m, April 1895, T.F. Bourdillon 787 (K001000002 [digital image!]).

Notes:— Nair & Srinivasan (1980) effectively designated the lectotype for the name Eugenia discifera Gamble by selecting specimen CAL0000015511 ( Figure 3 View FIGURE 3 ) upon rediscovery of E. discifera after 85 years. However, Byng et al. (2015) later designated specimen K000821387 as the lectotype, unaware of the earlier lectotypification by Nair & Srinivasan (1980). Consequently, the lectotypification by Byng et al. (2015) cannot be upheld, as Nair & Srinivasan (1980) were the original authors who effectively lectotypified E. discifera .
