Treatment

Corchorus siliquosus Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 1: 529. 1753 View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat in Jamaica." RCN: 3936.

Type not designated.

Original material: [icon] in Sloane, Voy. Jamaica 1: 145, t. 94, f. 1. 1707 - Voucher: Herb. Sloane 2: 122 ( BM-SL) .

Current name: Corchorus siliquosus L. View in CoL ( Tiliaceae ).

Note: Jansen-Jacobs & Meijer (in Görts-van Rijn, Fl. Guianas, ser. A, 17: 28. 1995) indicated 691.6 (LINN) as the type but it is a Browne collection, received by Linnaeus only in 1758, so not original material for the name. Similarly, although 691.7 (LINN) was treated by McVaugh (Fl. Novo-Galiciana 3: 76. 2001) as the type, this collection lacks the relevant Species Plantarum number (i.e. “1”) and was a post-1753 addition to the herbarium, and is not original material for the name.
