Generitype of Pothos Linnaeus.

Current name: Pothos scandens L. ( Araceae).

Note: Bogner indicated Herb. Hermann material (BM) as type. Although there is material in two volumes, it appears to have been part of a single gathering so his is accepted as the first typification (Art. 9.15), with the choice subsequently restricted by Suresh & al.
