D'après
The Linnean Plant Name Typification Project: "Wickens (in Polhill, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Melastomataceae: 74. 1975) indicated unspecified material in LINN as type, but
559.2 was a 1758 acquisition from Browne, and
559.3 was also received after 1753. Some later authors, too, have accepted one sheet or the other as the type but neither can be accepted as a neotype because original material is in existence."
