Abstract
To provide a valid name for the floristic checklist of the Ituri Forest (Democratic Republic of Congo), a new combination is made: Tarenna gilletii (De Wildeman & T. Durand) N. Hall ex Gereau (Rubiaceae). In proposing the combination Tarenna gilletii (De Wildeman & T. Durand) N. Hallk (Rubiaceae), Hallk (1970: 115) cited the basionym but gave no reference to its place of valid publication, page number, or date, thus failing to meet the requirements of ICBN Art. 33.2 (Greuter et al., 1994: 45) for valid publication of a new combination. Lebrun and Stork (1997: 230) listed the binomial with N. Hallk as the sole combining author and indicated the basionym, also without indicating its place of publication. The combination is validated as follows: Tarenna gilletii (De Wildeman & T. Durand) N. HallC ex Gereau, comb. nov. Basionym: Chomelia gilletii De Wildeman & T. Durand, Bull. Herb. Boissier, s&r. 2, 1: 29. 1900. TYPE: Democratic Republic of Congo. Kisantu, J. Gillet 149 (holotype, BR not seen).
