Helicteres angustifolia Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 963. 1753.

"Habitat in China. Osbeck." RCN: 6971.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 1074.5 (LINN) .

Current name: Helicteres angustifolia L. ( Sterculiaceae).

Note: Cristóbal (in Bonplandia 11: 176. 2001) indicated 1074.5 (LINN) (as “1974.5”) as the holotype. While there do not appear to be grounds for accepting it as a holotype, this collection does appear to be original material for the name and eligible for selection as a lectotype. However, this choice was published after 1 Jan 2001 and so the omission of the phrase "designated here" or an equivalent (Art. 7.11) means that this choice is not effective.
