Abstract

The lectotypification of  Clusia major  L., the type of  Clusia  L., is examined. It is shown that the lectotypes hitherto proposed should be superseded; a new lectotype is designated. As a consequence,  C.  subg.  Thysanoclusia  and  C.  sect.  Stauroclusia  become C. subg.  Clusia  and sect.  Clusia  respectively. The correct name for  C.  sect.  Euclusia  , nom. inval., is  C.  sect.  Chlamydoclusia.  An earlier lectotype designation for  C. minor  is superseded as the holotype still exists. A lectotype for  C. plukenetii  Urb. is also designated.
