Breynia discigera Müll.Arg. (1866) 440. — Neotype (designated here): J.F. Maxwell 82-21 (L[ L 0066137 ]; isoneotypes AAU,BKF,L [ L 0066138 ],SAR), Singapore, Bukit Kalang Reservoir , 28 Jan. 1982.
Melanthesa racemosa Blume var. pubescens Müll.Arg.(1863) 73. — Breynia rhamnoides (Blume) Müll.Arg. var. pubescens (Müll.Arg.) Müll.Arg. (1866) 441. — Lectotype (designated here): N. Wallich Cat. 7917 A (G-DC*; isolecto BM, E, E-GL, FI-W, G, K, K-W), Malaysia, Penang.
Note — Breynia discigera was described based on only one specimen from Singapore (Jäger 17, B) that was presumably destroyed together with the Berlin herbarium in World War II, and is therefore lost now. The citation of the collector was most probably erroneous and might refer to F . Jagor , who collected in Singapore in 1858, and whose collections were kept in B . The species is easy enough to recognize, being the only one with pubescent leaves in sect. Breynia in Thailand and the Malay Peninsula incl. Singapore. Therefore, a neotype is proposed here from a gathering from Singapore with several known duplicates, but which is presumably not present in SING .
