Guilandina bonduc Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 381. 1753.

“Habitat in Indiis.” RCN: 3003.

Lectotype (Skeels in Science, n.s., 37: 922. 1913; Dandy & Exell in J. Bot. 76: 177. 1938): Herb. Hermann 3: 35, No. 156 (BM-000594677).

Generitype of Guilandina Linnaeus (vide Hitchcock, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 152. 1929).

Current name: Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) Roxb. (Fabaceae: Caesalpinioideae).

Note: Skeels ( l.c.), noting Trimen’s identifications of Hermann’s specimens, treated material associated with Flora Zeylanica No. 156 as the type. As the material appears to have been part of a single gathering, but is distributed between three of Hermann’s volumes, Dandy & Exell are accepted as having restricted Skeels’ original type choice.
