Name

Tarenna sambucina (G.Forst.) T.Durand [Index Gen. Phan.: 177 (1888)] ex Drake, Ill. Fl. Ins. Pacif.: 190 (1890)

Synonyms

Basionym
- Coffea sambucina G.Forst., Fl. Ins. Austr.: 16 (1786)
  - Syntypes:
    - J.G.A. Forster s.n. ([1772–1775]; BM {BM001040328^(JSTOR), BM001040329^(JSTOR) [collected by J.R. Forster & J.G.A. Forster as "Coffea cymosa. Forster" in pencil on sheet], BM001040330^(JSTOR) ['G. Forsters. Herbarium'], BM001040331^(JSTOR) ["Tongatabbu-G. Forsters. Herbarium"], BM001040332^(JSTOR) ["Coffea sicca a Cel. Forster"]}, C [C10018382^(JSTOR)], GOET [GOET012555 / 762756 / 406157^{(GBIF, JSTOR)} = 60, "Ins. Amicorum leg. Forster 60", sterile branch]; 'isotype': B -W 04127 -01 0^(JSTOR)]; 'Original material': FR-0031061^{(GBIF, JSTOR)}).
    - Forster s.n. (BM [Herb. Pallas, as Coffea sambucina, mounted on sheet with Coffea opulina, but labels reversed]).
    - Forster 44 (P ["Tonga Tabbu", "Insulae Amicorum"]).
    - Forster (K [ex LIV, copied label, two plants mounted together, one determined Coffea sambucina, which is Tarenna sambucina as commonly understood, the other is a fruiting plant of Pavetta, probably P. opulina (G.Forst.) DC.]).
    - Forster drawing no. 51 (BM [labelled Coffea sambucina, Tana]).
    - Forster drawing no. 32 (12 August 1774; LE) fide J. Ewan
    - Forster (MW [from "Ins. Amicor."]) fide Karabaev
    - Forster (UPS [labelled "Tongatabu, Namoka"]; cf. V-004920^(GBIF)).
  - Type locality: Insulae Amicorum[Tonga or Vanuatu].
    - Note: thus 'isotype' in K [ex LIV; K000763151^{(GBIF, JSTOR)}], which was collected in Tahiti, does not deserve lectotype (vide Smith 1988) and it belongs to var. tahitensis (Valeton) Fosberg & Sachet; Fosberg [& Sachet] (1991) stated that all the Forster collections of non-Tahitian origin are to be treated as syntypes until he completes his examination.

  - Note: they cited Gray's Stylocoryna sambucina as basionym.
