76. Spathodea corymbosa Vent. in Mém. Cl. Sci. Math. Inst. Natl. France 8: 19. 1807 [cited in Choix Pl.: tab. 40. 1807]. Ξ Bignonia corymbosa (Vent.) L.G. Lohmann Typus: TRINIDAD: sine loc., Riedlé s.n. (holo-: P [P00481551]!) (Fig. 12). Notes. – No collection of this species has been found at G. A collection at P clearly comes from the Ventenat herbarium. It is the only example we have found of a Ventenat label at P. It is designated here as the holotype (Fig. 12). This collection may have been in the herbarium of one of Ventenat’s contemporaries when his own herbarium has been sold to Delessert (see introduction). Both Lohmann (2008) and Lohmann & Taylor (2012) also considered this Riedlé collection as holotype.
