REMARKS

The Labillardière specimen at FI is designated as the lectotype because Vieillard 594 is an intractible muddle (see Taxonomic history of Pancheria and Appendix 1) .

At G, a second sheet of Vieillard594 (Wagap, 1861- 1867, ex B-B) is conspecific with the lectoparatype of Pancheria pulchella but it has fruits and is not sufficiently close to be from the same collection.

At P, material labelled Vieillard 594 and apparently not belonging to the types of Pancheria beauverdiana and P.pyrifolia consists of at least seven sheets. None definitely matches the lectoparatype of P. pulchella and especially the sheets formerly at Caen are clearly from several gatherings. P00143095 has been labelled P. pulchella but it has fruit and is probably not a lectoparatype. P00131995 has two fragments with old fruits which match P00143095 but it is labelled “ Deplanche 369bis, 2659 Vieill., 1861-67, Institut Botanique de Caen” while another sheet with a similar label (Deplanche 369bis, s.loc., 1861- 67, Herb. Mus . Paris) is from a different gathering and is a lectoparatype of P. elliptica .
