Name

Timonius pachyphyllus Merr., Philipp. J. Sci. 26: 494 (1925)

• Type: M. Ramos sub Bur. Sci. 40794 (20 April 1922, [female]; Holotype: PNH [destroyed]; Lectotypus: P [​P03906974^(GBIF), designated by Chavez et al. 2017: 146]; Isolectotypes: A 00969803^{(GBIF, JSTOR)}, K [​K000763548^{(GBIF, JSTOR)}]).
  • Note: Darwin (1994: 61) stated that an isotype was deposited in A, but A 00312918^{(GBIF, JSTOR)} is a collection made by Yoshio KONDO (in Ticao Island, Masbate, 31 March 1957, during the Philippine-Hawaii Expedition) and thus cannot serve as lectotype.
• Type locality: Philippines. Luzon, Rizal Province: Mount Angilog, on forested slopes, altitude about 1,200 meters.
