Cliffortia polygonifolia L.
Oliver & Fellingham in 1993 designated a Clifford sheet as lectotype of Cliffortia polygonifolia L., but Stearn's choice predates it; Weimarck in 1934 called Hort. Cliff. illustration good and said the type specimen was gone.
Note: Oliver and Fellingham (in Jarvis et al., Regnum Veg. 127: 35. 1993) designated a Clifford sheet as the lectotype. However, Stearn made an earlier choice. Weimarck (Monogr: Cliffortia: 83. 1934) described the Hort. Cliff. illustration as "a good figure" and mentioned that "the type specimen has disappeared".
