Type Information
Euphorbia celastroides Boiss. var. hathewayi Sherff, Bot. Leafl. 3:4 1951.
O`ahu, Mokuleia, Wai`anae Mts, east slope of Keawapilau Gulch. 1400 ft. 5 September 1950. Hatheway 223.
Holotype [F]. Isotype(s) [BISH, NY, US!].

---------------------

Euphorbia celastroides Boiss. , in de Candolle, Prodr. 15(2): 11 1862.
Ni`ihau 1851- 1855. Rémy 595.
Lectotype [P]. Isolectotype(s) [BISH?].

Note: Additional syntype: Remy 595, Kaua`i. Sherff made the Kaua`i collection the type of E. celastroides var. humbertii. Although Boissier did not cite numbers for the Remy collections, it is presumed that they are both number 595. The BISH sheet has neither locality nor number on it, so it cannot be determined whether it is an isolectotype of E. celastroides or an isotype of E. celastroides var. humbertii, if either (RKS, 8/95). Was this lectotypified by Sherff, 1937, Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden? WLW sez, "Need to see material." Koutnik cites Remy 595 Ni`ihau, but does the number 595 really go with both the Ni`ihau and the Kaua`i collection (Koutnik is the only one who says 595 for the Ni`ihau sheet). Is the publication of var. humbertii (Bot. Gaz. 97: 596. 1936.) using syntype material of var. celastroides 1) effective lectotypification of var. celastroides or 2) invalid publication of var. humbertii?? (11/95). Koutnik, D.L. 1987.

*Verification: None.

Euphorbia celastroides Boiss. f. kahanana Sherff, Bot. Gaz. (Crawfordsville) 97: 596 1936.
O`ahu, W slope of Kahana Valley, sunny ridge. 26 February 1929. Degener and Krauss 8036.
Holotype [BISH]. Isotype(s) [F, NY [mfc!]].

Note: Discrepancies between BISH sheet, Sherff publication, and Koutnik as to where the holotype is. BISH sheet is considered holotype (ex herb. Degener) even though it is labeled "isotype." See Sherff's later citation in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 25: 31 (1938) ("type, Degener; cotypes, Field, N. Y."). R.K. Shannon

Euphorbia celastroides Boiss. var. hanapepensis Sherff, Bot. Gaz. (Crawfordsville) 97: 597 1936.
Kaua`i, along the Hanapepe River near the falls. 700 ft. 2-8 July 1895. Heller 2429.
Holotype [MO]. Isotype(s) [US!].

Note: Collection 2429, pro parte. Other collections distributed under Heller 2429 were made 24-26 June (A, GH, BISH! [3], MIN!, NY [mfc!]), and are not primary type material. Sherff clearly distinguished between specimens of Heller 2429 collected 24-26 June and those collected 2-8 July. He cited only the US sheet as an isotype. Possible isotypes: CU, MSC. The paratypes cited by Sherff (F [2], GH, K, NY) probably all represent the same collection, although the locality on the K sheet is given as "Hanapepe and Wahiawa watershed," and the date is 24 June. Koutnik (1987) erroneously considered specimens at BISH, F, GH, K, and MIN to be isotypes. Wagner, W.L. & R.K. Shannon. 1999. Brittonia 51:422-438

Euphorbia celastroides Boiss. var. humbertii Sherff, Bot. Gaz. (Crawfordsville) 97: 596 1936.
Kaua`i 1851- 1855. Rémy 595.
Holotype [GH]. Isotype(s) [BISH?, GH, P [2 sheets]].

Note: Additional syntype: Remy 595, Ni`ihau. Koutnik made the Ni`ihau collection the lectotype of E. celastroides. Although Boissier did not cite numbers for the Remy collections, it is presumed that they are both number 595. The BISH sheet has neither locality nor number on it, so it cannot be determined whether it is an isolectotype of E. celastroides or an isotype of E. celastroides var. humbertii, if either (RKS, 8/95).
