Notes:
Annotated by A. Robyns (1962) as isoneotype of Bombacopsis quinata (Jacq.) Dugand [basionym Bombax quinatum Jacq.]. For discussion of nomenclature and typification, see Alverson & Duarte 2015, Novon 24(2): 115-119, who note that Bombax quinatum Jacq. is a superfluous name (illegitimate renaming of Bombax ceiba L.) [and thus the neotypification by Robyns is illegitimate] and not conspecific with Pachira fendleri Seem.
