13. Eumachia oddonii (De Wild.) Razafim. & C.M. Taylor, comb. nov. Ξ Psychotria oddonii De Wild., Etudes Fl. Bas-MoyenCongo 2: 187. 1907. Ξ Chazaliella oddonii (De Wild.) E.M.A. Petit & Verdc. in Kew Bull. 30: 269. 1975. Ξ Margaritopsis oddonii (De Wild.) Razafim. & B. Bremer in Amer. J. Bot. 101: 1118. 2014. Syntypi: DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO: Zaïre, Sanda, IV.1903, Oddon in Gillet 3001 (BR [BR0000008482907] image seen); ibid. loc., s.d., Oddon in Gillet 3746 (BR, not found). Notes. – This species is found in Nigeria, Cameroon, Republic of Congo, and Democratic Republic of Congo. The type material of this name was cited by VERDCOURT (1977: 799) as two collections deposited at BR. One collection, Oddon in Gillet 3746, has not been seen so this name cannot be further typified here. Verdcourt considered Eumachia poggei to be of somewhat unclear identity, but similar to or perhaps not distinct from E. oddonii.
