Allophylus cobbe

Mabberley, D. J., 2017, A note on the tonka bean and William Forsyth junior’s ‘ A botanical nomenclator’ (1794), Blumea 62 (2), pp. 87-89 : 88

Allophylus cobbe (L.) Forsyth f. (1794) col. 226; Raeusch. (1797) 108, isonym – Sapindaceae (( A. cobbe s.l.) Old World tropics)

Basionym. Rhus cobbe L. (1753) 267.

Note — See Howard (1975).According to Werner Greuter (pers. comm. 22 April 2017), the title of Räuschel’s book is to be considered adequate to constitute an indirect reference to Linnaeus’s basionym, validating this isonym, and many others, in his book. The remaining valid names have their basis in other works cited in his preface. Nonetheless, there are several names in his text with direct references to basionyms, e.g., of names in current use, Croton cascarilloides Raeusch. and Potentilla erecta (L.) Raeusch.,though some in this category have been inexplicably overlooked. These include the following name in current use:

Pterospermum suberifolium (L.) Raeusch.(1797) 185; Willd.3 (1800) 728, isonym – Malvaceae ( India, Sri Lanka)

Basionym. Pentapetes suberifolia L. 2 (1753) 698.
