Le spécimen fructifère est aussi la collecte type de
Bignonia latisiliqua Poir. 1811 (voir sous ce nom pour d'autres commentaires concernant l'histoire des spécimens de cette collecte). D'après Woodson (Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard., 38:
135. 18/06/1951): "A knotty problem of nomenclature which will have to be tackled sooner or later concerns type specimens which are shown to be heterozygous. An instance in point is the type specimen of
Aspidosperma album (Richard s. n. in Herb. Haun.), which has the peculiar inflorescence and leaf outline of supposedly homozygous
A. album as defined in this paper, but with the leaves white-tomentulose beneath as in
A. Spruceanum. Should a "neotype" be selected from the homozygous populations and the historical holotype disqualified as heterozygous?"
