Abstract

Apocynaceae Asclepiadaceae Bohol Dischidia Dolichostegia Historical collections Philippines Typification
Dolichostegia Schlechter, the name of a monotypic genus endemic to the Philippines, is lectotypified and the lectotype described and illustrated. Synonymy of Dolichostegia with Dischidia is accepted and a new combination, Dischidia boholensis (Schlechter) Livshultz, is made. The most likely type locality for D. boholensis, and for other R. C. McGregor specimens from Bohol, is limestone hill forest near Guindulman, in the south‐eastern corner of the island.
