Name

Bennettiodendron Merr., J. Arnold Arbor. 8: 10. (1927)

  • Type species: Bennettiodendron leprosipes (Clos) Merr., J. Arnold Arbor. 8: 11. (1927)

Synonyms

  • Homotypic
    • Bennettia Miq., Fl. Ind. Bat. 1(2): 105. (1858) nom. illeg. hom. non Bennettia Gray, Nat. Arr. Brit. Pl. 2: 440 (1821) vide Saussurea DC., Ann. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat. 16: 156, 198–203, pl. 10–13. (1810) (Asteraceae). See also Bennettia R.Br., Pl. Jav. Rar. 249. (1838) nom. illeg. hom. vide Galearia Zoll. & Moritzi, Syst. Verz. 1842--1844 19. (1846) (Pandanaceae).

Note: Merrill made Bennettiodendron brevipes as his type, but this is now in synonymy with B. leprosipes, which was earlier described as Xylosma leprosipes Clos, Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot., sér. 4 8: 230. (1857) and therefore has precedence. In addition, the genus may not be monotypic, but it has not been monographed or subject to analysis outside of the Flora of China (2010).
