Haematoxylum campechianum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 384. 1753.

"Habitat in Campeche Americes." RCN: 3019.

Lectotype (Howard & Staples in J. Arnold Arbor. 64: 529. 1983): Herb. Linn. No. 538.1 (LINN) .

Generitype of Haematoxylum Linnaeus.

Current name: Haematoxylum campechianum L. ( Fabaceae: Caesalpinioideae).

Note: Fawcett & Rendle (Fl. Jamaica 4: 97. 1920) indicated material in LINN as type but did not distinguish between sheets 538.1 and 538.2. These two collections (one is ex Herb. Clifford) do not appear to be part of a single gathering, so Art. 9.15 does not apply.
