Validation of Buchnera butayei View in CoL
The name Buchnera butayei appears first in a floristic paper by De Wildeman (1921: 64) where he cites: « Buchnera Butayei De Wild., Dolo, 1913 (Bavicchi, n. 157, 444). » There is no accompanying description, and thus the name is invalid. It was not mentioned previously in IPNI (2024) nor in POWO (2024). However, Mielcarek (1996) in his revision of the Scrophulariaceae of Central Africa cited De Wildeman (1921) as the protologue, gave a full description in French and cited a type specimen (R.Butaye 1461), but did not validate the name as a latin diagnosis or description is lacking.As the taxon is well characterized, we here validate the name Buchnera butayei , using the specimen that was chosen as the type by De Wildeman and collected by R. Butaye.
