| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The specific name dismorphia for the type-species of this genus was introduced in a most unsatisfactory way. What happened was this : At the head of plate 51 the words "Genus Blanchardia Buch." were printed, while at the foot of the plate were printed the words "Blanch. Dismorphia Buch.". At some stage - presumably before publication - the words "Dismorphia Buch." at the foot of the plate were ruled off between parallel lines and the word "Choarina" was inserted in their place. In these circumstances it may be assumed that Buchecker originally intended to place in the genus Blanchardia a new species to which he planned to give the specific name dismorphia, that, after the plate had been printed with this specific name on the legend, he realized that the species concerned had already been given the specific name choarina, and that he accordingly decided to abandon his idea of publishing the specific name dismorphia, for this purpose ruling out that name on the legend to his plate 51 and inserting in its place the specific name choarina. The specific name dismorphia Buchecker must therefore be regarded as a manuscript name which, as it were, just failed to be published, being abandoned by its author at the last moment. The taxon represented by the nominal species Heliconia choarina Hewitson is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as a subspecies of the taxon represented by the older-established nominal species Heliconia hecuba Hewitson, [1858] (Ill. exot. Butts. 2 : [25], pl. [13], fig. II). The generic name Blanchardia Buchecker is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, it being a junior homonym of Blanchardia Castelnau, 1875 (Philadelphia Centennial Exped. of 1876 Official Rec. : 47). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
