Name

Tieghemella heckelii (A.Chev.) Pierre ex Heine, Fl. W. Trop. Afr. ed. 2, 2: 21 (1963)

  • Note: Mouly et al. (2010) claim that Chevalier's (in fact, Perrot's) description in 1907 lacks diagnostic elements and collection number references, so the name published in that year should be regarded as a nomen nudum; besides, Dubard (1915) kept the genus Dumoria; only the inadvertent description given by Heine (1963) is the valid one.
