basionym of: Morinda citrifolia var. bracteata (Roxb.) Kurz legitimate
Robinson, C.B. (1912), Roxburgh's Hortus Bengalensis. Philippine Journal of Science 7(6): 413 [secondary reference]
  • Comment: Robinson indicates that Morinda bracteata was validly published by Roxburgh via citation of "H.M. 1. t. 52" [i.e. the plate in Rheede's Hortus Indicus Malabaricus] in the footnote. However, Roxburgh's footnote 14 actually lists "H. A. 3. t. 98" [i.e. the plate in Rumphius' Herbarium Amboinense that depicts the species]. This constitutes reference to a previously and effectively published description or diagnosis under ICBN Arts 32.1 and 44.1 (Vienna Code, 2006).
