Taxonomy

There are four specimens with the name of Crudia scortechinii Prain in the author's handwriting in K: two in flower and two in fruit, respectively. They all match the original description and may all be considered as the authentic material of this species. When Prain published the species, he cited (l.c.: 220) only one collection: Scortechini 2129, later (l.c.: 488) rightly corrected to 2029.
