Remarks
Decaisne, the author of the article, mentioned that Blume contributed the treatments of Typhonium divaricatum and T. cuspidatum (Les synonymes de ces Aroïdes, ainsi que la communication de ces deux espèces de Typhonium m'ont été donnés par M. Blume sub Scindapsus pinnatus). For T. divaricatum, Blume referred to Arum divaricatum L. Spec. 966. n° 10 (Excl. syn. Hort. malab.) (sic) and A. diversifolium as synonyms. Nicolson and Sivadasan (Blumea 27: 490. 1981) considered the Rheede element as the type of A. divaricatum. Since T. divaricatum excludes the Rheede element, they (p. 492) treated T. divaricatum as a superfl. name for A. diversifolium Blume. However, in 1834, A. divaricatum did not have a holotype, lectotype, or syntypes. Since Blume did not exclude any of the preceding types, it is construed here that he proposed T. divaricatum as a new combination and based it on A. divaricatum.
