Type Information
Basionym:
Maba hillebrandii Seem. , Fl. Vit. 151 1866.
O`ahu, Niu Valley. Hillebrand 274.
Holotype
[K]. Isotype(s)
[BISH].
Note: Seemann cited a Hillebrand collection "(his n. 274)", is that a specimen at K? Since Hillebrand cited more than one locality, we need to know the locality of the sheet Seemann cited before we can no know whether or not BISH sheet is an isotype. BISH sheet has 2 (old) labels, one says Wailua and Kahuku, June 60 (I think). The other, Valley of Niu. Borrow specimens from BM and K.
*Verification: R.K. Shannon, W.L. Wagner.
