Beccari; May 1872; BM; (Leliaert & Coppejans 2006: 668) Notes: According to Leliaert & Coppejans (2006: 668), in the original prologue, Aru-Vokan (Wokam Island, Kepulauan Aru, Indonesia) is indicated as type locality, However, only a single specimen labelled in Beccari's hand, 'Spongodendron crassum Zan., Nova-Guinea, Sorong (non Ins. Aru) v. 1872', was found in BM and is indicated as lectotype by them. They note that the Beccari collections are normally housed in FI, but this specimen was sent to Murray & Boodle (BM) by Beccari (Murray & Boodle 1888: 169) and apparently never returned (Sartoni & Nepi, pers. comm.).
