Lepidocupania oedipoda (Radlk.) Buerki, Callm., Munzinger & Lowry View in CoL , comb. nov.

≡ Cupaniopsis oedipoda Radlk. View in CoL in Sitzungsber. Math.-Phys. CI. Konigl. Bayer. Akad. Wiss. Munich 9: 590. 1879.

Lectotypus (first step designated by ADEMA, 1991: 146; second step designated here): NEW CALEDONIA. Prov. Sud: escarpements du Cougui [ Koghi ], 400 m, s.d., Pancher s.n. ( P [ P00639149 ]!; isolecto-: M [ M0225258 ] image seen; P [ P00639148 , P00639150 , P00639151 ]!).

= Cupaniopsis ganophloea Radlk. View in CoL in Sitzungsber. Math.- Phys. CI. Konigl. Bayer. Akad. Wiss. Munich 9: 590. 1879.

Lectotypus (designated here): NEW CALEDONIA. Prov. Nord: “ Balade ”, 1855 – 1860, Veillard 230 ( P [ P00639147 ]!; probable isolecto-: P [ P05309776 ]!).

Distribution and ecology. – Lepidocupania oedipoda is restricted to Grande Terre, extending to the northwest in the Belep archipelago (Art Island); it grows in maquis vegetation, humid forests, gallery forests, and forest remnants, often along streams, usually on hills or mountainsides, on serpentine, greywacke and schist, from sea level to 850 m ( ADEMA, 1991).

Notes. – Five syntypes were cited in the protologue of Cupaniopsis oedipoda: Balansa 153 p. p., 1441 and 2257, Baudouin 354 p.p. and Pancher s.n. ADEMA (1991: 146) designated Pancher s.n. as the lectotype. Original material of this collection at P is, however, mounted on four sheets, necessitating a second step lectotypification. Here we designate the fruiting material with a note in Radlkofer’s hand: “ Cupaniopsis oedipoda m. Radlk.” as the lectotype.

Cupaniopsis ganophloea was described based on four syntypes: Labillardière s.n., Pancher 777, Vieillard 227, 230 and 231. The most complete and best-preserved material bearing, in Radlkofer’s hand, “ Cupaniopsis ganophloea m. Radlk.” is [ P05309776 ]. This collection has no label data and could represent material of either Veillard 230 or 231. Veillard 230 in P [ P00639147 ] only has a few fruits with the note “ Cupaniopsis ganophloea m. Radlk.” in Radlkofer’s hand. We prefer to designate the later sheet as lectotype and consider [ P05309776 ] as a probable isolectotype.
