Autorité : La plupart des bases de données sont ambigues sur l'autorité de ce nom "Schomb. ex Benth.", "R.H.Schomb. ex Benth." ou "M.R.Schomb. ex Benth."? D'après Molino
et al. (
2022): "In their recent revision of
Paloue, Redden
et al. (2018) cite the basionym of
P. princeps,
Elizabetha princeps
with the authorship “M.R.Schomb. ex Benth.”, and give the type “Guyana.
1839 (fl., fr.). R. Schomburgk s.n. (holotype: K!; isotype: F!)”.
However, the original material collected in 1839 and reported by Hooker
in 1840 was collected by Robert (Hermann) Schomburgk, not his younger
brother (Moritz) Richard who first arrived in Guyana in 1841. Further,
the specimen mentioned as isotype by Redden
et al. (2018) (F,
V0057797F) is a fragment of a lost B specimen (photo
F neg. N° 1560). If this specimen was collected by Richard Schomburgk, as the label seems to indicate, then it cannot be part of the original material."

Elizabetha princeps R.H.Schomb. ex Benth. at K, two are in Herbarium Benthamianum. One of them (
K000264886) has a label “Holotype,
Elizabetha princeps Schomb. ex Benth., det. R.S. Cowan, 10/1975” and is here designated as lectotype. The other two (
K000264887, in Herbarium Benthamianum, and
K000264888, in Herbarium Hookerianum) are isolectotypes."
