[798] Eperua grandiflora (Aubl.) Baill. View in CoL View at ENA

Hist. Pl. [Baillon] 2: 110 [Jan.-Feb. 1870] ( Baillon 1870). — Parivoa grandiflora Aubl., Hist. Pl. Guiane View in CoL 2: 756 [Jun.-Dec. 1775] ( Aublet 1775).

Eperua kourouensis Benoist, Notul. Syst. (Paris) View in CoL 3: 273 [7 May 1917] (Benoist 1917).

NOTES. — Known only from the Guiana Shield. The previous transfer by Bentham (1865: 580) is invalid because he only cited Parivoa grandiflora Aubl. under Eperua , without associating the genus name and the epithet. Although Baillon also cited this species under Parivoa grandiflora ( Baillon 1870: 111) , he clearly made the combination [“ Eperua (Parivoa) grandiflora ”] on figs. 81 & 82. Eventually, Bentham (1870: 226) also published the new combination, but a few months after Baillon.
