Tigridia vanhouttei Roezl ex G.Nicholson

Mabberley, D. J., 2018, A note on the chestnut vine and Séraphin Mottet’s ‘ Dictionnaire Pratique d’Horticulture et Jardinage’ (1892 - 1899), Blumea 62 (3), pp. 240-244 : 242

4. Tigridia vanhouttei Roezl ex G.Nicholson 4 (1887) 39; Espejo & López-Ferr. (1997) 2, isonym – Iridaceae ( Mexico)

Note — Nicholson has a description and cites Flore des Serres 25 (1875) t. 2174, which plate (‘ TIGRIDIA ? VAN HOUT- TEI Roezl ’) has neither analysis nor adequate accompanying description in the associated text (p. 49) by Van Houtte, headed ‘ TIGRIDIA HOUTTEI B. ROEZL. ’

Nicholson produced a ‘Century Supplement’ to his Dictionary, in two parts (1900–1901), in which he took up most of Mottet’s innovations but, again, made further nomenclatural innovations, few of which had reached IPNI at the time of writing. Twenty-two amended or additional names have therefore been passed to IPNI, one of them having a minor effect on a name in current use:

Pleurothallis lamprophylla G.Nicholson (1901) 608; Schltr. (1918) 205 = Stelis lamprophylla (G.Nicholson) Karremans – Orchidaceae ( Mexico to Panama)

Note — I am indebted to Adam Karremans for help with this name.
