ID remarks:
St John (in Phytologia 33: 89-92. 1976) discussed the specimens in LINN, and stated that he had studied "the types of both of the Linnaean species". However, in this he did not distinguish between 852.1 and 852.2 (LINN), which are not part of a single gathering and so Art. 9.15 does not apply. Gillis' choice, however, in any case pre-dates that of St John.
Location remarks:
"Habitat in Bahama, Barbiches, Surinamo."
