Vallariello, pers. comm.), but, there is a specimen (Fig. 1) in the herbarium of Giovanni Gussone (1787–1811), a Neapolitan botanist contemporary of Tenore. The specimen accords well with Tenore’s description, with one notable exception. In the protologue, Tenore stated ‘calycibus 5-dentatis’ but the Gussone specimen has tetramerous flowers. As the specimen is a good match to Tarenna grevei and it is labelled with Tenore’s name in Gussone’s hand, I consider the discrepancy in the number of calyx lobes to be a lapse on Tenore’s part and accept Rippa’s interpretation of the name. The Gussone specimen [NAP0000515] is designated here as the neotype of Pavetta madagascariensis, and a new combination for this name is proposed in Tarenna.</p> <p>Pavetta gracilis was described separately by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle (1778– 1841) and by Achille Richard (1794–1852) in 1830 when they were both studying the family Rubiaceae. Candolle’s fourth volume of the Prodromus was published two months earlier than Richard’s Mémoire (see KIRKBRIDE &amp; WIERSEMA, 2022). Among the 72 Rubiaceae names ascribed to Richard in the Prodromus, several were not associated to any specimen because Candolle copied Richard’s descriptions and no original material was available to him (KIRKBRIDE &amp; WIERSEMA, 2022). A neotype is therefore designated here on the best material seen by Richard now deposited at P [P03919042].</p> <p>The best preserved material of Grevé 261 is designated here as the lectotype of Ixora grevei.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B16A5A451856FFE1FF9AFA21FBA9FDAF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
