Magnolia villosa (Miq.) H. Keng (1978) 129. — Talauma villosa Miq.(1861) 366. — Talauma rabaniana Hook.f.& Thomson var. villosa (Miq.) P.Parm.(1896) 271. — Lirianthe villosa (Miq.) Sima & S.G.Lu (2012) 61. — Lectotype (designated by Nooteboom 1987): Teijsmann HB 3690 (lecto L0038374;isolecto BO 1291531,U0003783), [ Indonesia,] Sumatra,Moeara Enim. See note 1.

Talauma lanigera Hook.f. & Thomson (1872) 40. — Magnolia lanigera (Hook.f.& Thomson) H.J.Chowdhery & P.Daniel (1981) 64. — Type: Griffith s.n. (Kew distribution no. 65) (holo K001292330), [ Malaysia,] Malacca. See note 2.

Notes — 1. Miquel mentioned “ Sumatra orient. in prov. Palembang , prope Muara-enim ( T.)” in his protologue of Talauma villosa . It is clearly indicated in the footnotes that ‘ T.’ refers to Teijsmann. However, there is neither indication of a particular herbarium in which Teijsmann’s specimen was deposited nor evidence that only a single specimen is used for Miquel’s description. The type statement “ Type : Teijsmann HB3690 ( L; iso BO)” provided in Nooteboom (1987) constitutes an effective lectotypification; thus, the L specimen ( Fig. 7a ) is the lectotype of Talauma villosa . Nooteboom (2012) erroneously stated that the holotype is deposited in L .

2. Hooker & Thomson (1872) merely cited “Eastern Peninsula, Griffith ” in the protologue of Talauma lanigera . We located only a single specimen in K (K001292330) that was collected by Griffith , labelled as Talauma lanigera , and which has morphological features corresponding to the protologue (e.g., presence of immature, densely woolly carpels and absence of ripe fruits). Thus, K001292330 ( Fig. 7b ) is the holotype of Talauma lanigera . Although Nooteboom (1987, 2012) indicated “Type: Griffith 65 ”, the ‘65’ actually refers to the Kew distribution number rather than Griffith’s collection number. Nooteboom (2012) correctly stated that the holotype is deposited in K.
