Notes
The specimens, indicated as isolectotypes, do not have Richard’s original label. They instead have labels with Baillon’s handwriting giving the location as “Madagascar”. We believe that the correct location is the one indicated on the selected lectotype, “Ile Mohilla”, whose current name is Mohéli, in the Comoros Archipelago. A search of specimens at P showed that Richard’s collections numbered 284–286, 288, 290, 291 and 293 are also from Mohéli (289 has no locality and 292 is not listed). Richard 544 has an apparently original label showing the locality only as “Madagascar.” Collections at P with nearby numbers are labelled as being from either “Nord de Madagascar” or ”Ile Nos-bé” (now Nossi-bé), so this collection could be from northern Madagascar, although we have seen no other specimens from outside the Comoros Archipelago.
