Type.
Madagascar. Prov. Toliara: Sud-Ouest, s.d., M.G. Cours 4641 (holotype: P [P00312369]!; isotypes: K [K001044848], MO [sheet # 5737746]!), P [P00380443]!, P [P00380444] !).
Habit and distribution.
Shrubs; southwestern Madagascar (Toliara).
Notes.
Leandri (1970b) designated Cours 4641 as the holotype of C. aubrevilecta but there are three sheets of this collection at P. One of them, P00312369, has a label in Leandri's handwriting saying “type,” and the other two duplicates at P have labels stating “isotype.” The isotypes at P have preprinted labels stating “Itinéraire de Didy à Brickaville ( forêt orientale)," but P00380444 has a note added later stating “Localité très douteuse, voir récolte Homolle 1944 (avec M.G. Cours)." The holotype has a penciled note stating "Probablement région de Tranoroa." In the protologue, Leandri (1970b) also alluded to the erroneous labels from Didy and states that the collection likely came from far southern Madagascar close to Lake Tsimanampetsotsa.
