Reference for current status:
Rohwer, Fl. Cuba 19(2): 13. 2014
unprocessed publication data:
Syst. Laurin. 644. 1836.
Original type data:
Crescit in India occidentali, (Iaquin); in insula S. Vincentii, (Hooker.)
Additional type data:
Nees also cites "Cassytha filiformis Iacq. Pl. Am. p. 115. t. 97. Hook. Exot. Fl. t. 167," Therefore, one of these plates should be the lectotype of the species. The plate number in Jacquin, Selectarum Stirpium Americanarum Historia (1763), however, is 79, not 97. In addition, the plate in W.J. Hooker, Exotic Flora 3 (1827) is far more detailed. Therefore, the lectotype of this species should be plate 167 in W.J. Hooker, Exotic Flora 3 (1827).
