Neotypification of Pandanus odorifer, the correct name for P. odoratissimus (Pandanaceae)

Taxon, Volume 70, No. 1, Year 2021

Pandanus odorifer (Pandanaceae) is an economically important species distributed on coasts from India and Sri Lanka to South China through tropical Asian countries. Pandanus odoratissimus has been widely used as the accepted name for the species, but P. odoratissimus is in reality a superfluous and illegitimate name. No original material of P. odorifer has been traced, and a neotype is designated here for that name. © 2020 International Association for Plant Taxonomy
