Description: 

Remnants of flower parts from the rim of young cupules, from the holotype of Acrodiclidium kunthianum Nees (= Rhodostemonodaphne kunthiana (Nees) Rohwer), Poiteau s.n. (B), barcode B 10 0247364.  In the protologue, Nees wrote "Crescit in Guiana Gallica, (Poiteau.)  Vidi in Herb. Kunthiano absque floribus perfectis."  This specimen (see Digital Herbarium at http://ww2.bgbm.org/herbarium, ImageID 253242) is from the Kunth herbarium and bears the handwriting of Nees, so that there is no doubt that it is the holotype.
