tled black and grey-green. Spathe spiralled, outside purple-green,

When this beautiful tree was described, a habit photo- 
graph was published. Inasmuch as it is well to illustrate 
as many novelties as possible with a drawing or a de- 
tailed photograph, the accompanying line-drawing of 
Rhytidanthera regalis is hereby offered. 
APOCYNACEAE 
Tabernaemontana rimulosa Woodson ex R. E. 
Schultes in Bot. Mus. Leafl. Harvard Univ. 18 (1958) 
180; sine specimine designatione. 
Through an editorial oversight, no type specimen was 
cited for the description of this concept. In the Inter- 
national Code of Botanical Nomenclature (1956), Article 
35 stipulates that ‘‘publication on or after 1 Jan. 1958 
of the name of a new taxon of recent plants of the rank 
of order or below is valid only when the nomenclatural 
type is indicated.’ In order to validate Woodson’s pub- 
lication, we hereby print the essensial data which was 
previously omitted. It is my understanding that this 
binomial, since it was not validly published, must date 
from the present article. 
The type and only known collection of T'abernaemon- 
tana rimulosa is the following: 
CotomsBia: Comisaria del Vaupés, Rio Negro, San Felipe and vicin- 
ity (below confluence of Rio Guainia and Rio Casiquiare). Altitude 
about 600 feet. General location: Lat. 1°50’ N, Long. 67°0! W. 
October 25, 1952. Richard Evans Schultes, Richard FE, D. Baker & Isi- 
doro Cabrera 17983 (Tyrer in Mo. Bot. Gard.).
