Nomenclatural Notes

(as decumanus)

Remarks

Scora and Nicolson (in Taxon: 35: 594. 1986) treated C. decumana as including the type of Aurantium maximum Burm. (1755) and thus superfluous and illegitimate. Since A. maximum remained untypified in 1767, it is uncertain that C. decumana included all the syntypes of A. maximum. Therefore, C. decumana is treated here as legitimate.
