Bucephalandra motleyana Schott
SUMMARY
Schott’s original description (Schott 1858) is scanty and contains serious errors (see Bogner 1980 for discussion). Subsequent descriptions (Bogner 1980; Bogner & Hay 2000) are compiled from numerous different species, in line with then taxonomic concepts, and are therefore not reliable for envisaging Bucephalandra motleyana. Recollection of B. motleyana at the type locality is required, but see below.
