Malagasy Garcinia (Clusiaceae) revisited: new combinations and lectotypifications for Ochrocarpos goudotianus
and O. evonymoides and the lectotypification of Garcinia comorensis
Introduction
New information bearing on the nomenclatural status of
several names belonging to Malagasy species of Clusiaceae
has come to light since the publication of the taxonomic synopsis of Malagasy and Comorian Garcinia L. by SWEENEY &
ROGERS (2008). Two new combinations are provided in
Garcinia for Ochrocarpos evonymoides Planch. & Triana and
O. goudotianus Planch. & Triana. Two new synonyms are
established for Garcinia evonymoides (Planch. & Triana)
P. Sweeney & Z. S. Rogers, whereas two new synonyms are
provided for G. goudotiana (Planch. & Triana) P. Sweeney &
Z. S. Rogers. Lectotypes are designated for three of the names
treated here (G. comorensis Drake, Ochrocarpos evonymoides,
O. goudotianus).

The name Ochrocarpos evonymoides (PLANCHON & TRI1860) was not discussed in the Garcinia synopsis published in SWEENEY & ROGERS (2008). Three syntypes (Boivin
2614bis, Richard 53 [2 sheets], 661), misfiled in the P herbarium under the unpublished name “Mammea evonymoides
(Planch. & Triana) Kosterm.”, have recently been found. An
examination of the original material clearly shows that Ochrocarpos evonymoides is synonymous with the more recently
published Garcinia disepala (VESQUE, 1889), which was the
name used for the species in SWEENEY & ROGERS (2008). A
new combination in Garcinia is provided here for Planchon
and Triana’s earlier name.
With regard to the typification of Ochrocarpos evonymoides, at least two unnumbered collections were referenced
in the protologue via the citation, “Vohémar (Richard, Boivin
in herb. Mus.)”. In the Clusiaceae treatment published for the
Flore de Madagascar et des Comores, PERRIER DE LA BÂTHIE
(1951) accepted O. evonymoides as a distinct species based on
three collections, which were cited as “Richard 121, 161 [presumably a typographical error for 661], Boivin (Richard
comm.) 2614bis).” The sheet of Boivin 2614bis (P00852334)
is the most complete of the examined syntypes and is designated here as the lectotype of O. evonymoides.
DRAKE DEL CASTILLO (1896) published a plate engraved as
“Ochrocarpus evonymoides” and “Madagascar” without any
explanatory text linking the plate to the homonym published
by Planchon and Triana in 1860. Thus, the two homonyms cannot be considered homotypic, but the plant illustrated in the
plate belongs taxonomically to Garcinia evonymoides as first
indicated by PERRIER DE LA BÂTHIE (1951).

This species was mistakenly referred to as Garcinia melleri Baker (BAKER, 1883) in SWEENEY & ROGERS (2008)
because of the overlooked priority of Ochrocarpos goudotianus (PLANCHON & TRIANA, 1860). The new combination
G. goudotiana (Planch. & Triana) P. Sweeney & Z. S. Rogers
is proposed here.
In the protologue of Ochrocarpos goudotianus (PLANCHON
& TRIANA, 1860: 365), three elements provide information
regarding the provenance of the original material: the manuscript
name “Tovomita Goudotiana, Cambess. mss. in herb.” cited in
synonymy, the locality of the collection “Madagascar (Goudot
in herb. Mus. Par. et Cambess., ann. 1830)”, and the following
sentence in the diagnosis “Arbor excelsa, Hippocastani facie
(Goudot).” These statements indicate that at least two specimens
were used for the description, namely Goudot material deposited
at P and MPU (Herb. Cambessèdes). Two sheets (MPU014394,
P00592815), labeled with information mentioned explicitly in
the protologue, are clearly identifiable as syntypes (e.g., MPU
sheet annotated as “Tovomita Goudotiana Camb. ined.”, P sheet
annotated as “Arbor excelsa Hippocastani facie”).
Comparing the two sheets, P00592815 has the more complete specimen and includes the most detailed locality and date
(viz Tamatave, juillet 1830). The entire sheet is designated as the
lectotype of O. goudotianus. A further specimen collected by
Goudot in 1830 is deposited in G (G00090054). It bears the annotation: “Grand arbre, ayant le port d’un maronnier et à peu près
son volume moyen. Tamatave. Juillet.” and can be considered
part of the same collection and is thus regarded as an isolectotype. P00568801, a scantly labeled sheet composed of five
detached leaves, was cited as the “holotype” of O. goudotianus
in SWEENEY & ROGERS (2008). Although the label may bear the
annotation of the scientific name in Triana’s handwriting and the
leaves on the sheet correspond taxonomically to Garcinia goudotiana, it is very unlikely that P00568801 represents type material of Ochrocarpos goudotianus as it was part of the herbarium
of Petit-Thouars and bears none of the provenance information
mentioned in the protologue, nor any mention of a collector.
SWEENEY & ROGERS (2008) cited a P sheet of Humblot 144
as the “holotype” of Garcinia comorensis Drake. At the time
of the publication a barcode number was not available to cite,
but the sheet has since been barcoded as P00592817. Two
branches are affixed to the sheet (one with flower buds and the
other is sterile). In 2009 we located a second sheet of Humblot
144 at P (P00701479) that has three branches affixed to the
sheet (one branch with several open staminate flowers and
buds, one branch only with flower buds, and one completely
sterile branch). Here we designate the lectotype of G. comorensis as the largest and most complete branch (labeled “A1”) on
P00701479. The rest of material associated with P00701479
and both specimens affixed to P00592817 are regarded as
isolectotypes.
