The type of B. marginatum var. intermedium was indicated by Hassler in the original description as Hassler 8237 p.p. (i.e. pro parte). To make the distinction with the type of B. marginatum f. fruticosum based on part of the same gathering (see above) the letter [a] has been added to this particular specimen. Hassler did annotate it with his own handwriting: “ Bombax marginatum K. Sch. subspec. meridionale Hassler var. intermedium Hassler”.
