= Cola acuminata (P. Beauv.) Schott & Endl.

Notes. – After a short latin diagnosis, Ventenat stated in Jardin de Malmaison 2: sub tab. 91: “ex Herbario D. de Jussieu, ex Herbarium D. de Lamarck ”. One specimen has been found at G and this collection is a clastotype of a collection by Philibert Commerson (1727-1773) from Mauritius where the plant is cultivated. We designate the collection in P-JU as the lectotype as it is more complete and has been used by Ventenat for the description of this species.The two collections in P-LA [P00287711, P00287712] are considered as elements of original material.
