35. Talauma javanica P.Parm.

Bulletin scientifique de la France et de la Belgique 27: 208, 274, 327 (1896).

— Type: Java, ( H. Zollinger 2809) (lecto-, here designated, P [ P01963371 ]).

Magnolia liliifera ( L.) Baill .: Histoire des Plantes 1: 141 (1868) ( Govaerts et al. 2012).

REMARKS The only collection referred to by Parmentier under this species was cited as “no. 2809 Talauma – Planta Javanica a cl. Zollingero lecta”. There are two specimens in P that could represent the type. There is a sheet of Zollinger 2809 (P00734828) which was received at P on the same date as other Parmentier materials but has no annotations by Parmentier. There is also a sheet with a MEL label (P01963371), but no Zollinger details, that is annotated “ Talauma javanica Parm. Hist Magnol. p. 208” by Parmentier. The MEL label is annotated “unicum”, possibly indicating that the material Parmentier received from Melbourne was mounted on two sheets when it arrived at the Paris herbarium, with the MEL label placed on one sheet and the Zollinger label on the other. However, as there are no annotations to confirm this supposition, the sheets must be treated as different collections and a lectotype designated. The sheet with the MEL label is chosen as lectotype of Talauma javanica . There are seven other sheets of Zollinger 2809 in P, but different collecting localities are indicated on some of these (Balawan, Bandong, Sumbawa). It seems that Zollinger used the same number for different gatherings of what he believed to be the same species, so it is difficult to say for certain which sheets represent true isotypes of Talauma javanica .
