**Accepted name:** *Palicourea leiocarpa* (Cham. & Schltdl.) Delprete, **comb. nov.**

Type: BRAZIL: Without locality, s.d., *F. Sellow s.n.* (K [barcode K000174314], **neotype here designated**).

**Notes:** In the protologue of *Psychotria leiocarpa* Cham. & Schltdl., Chamisso and Schlechtendal (1829a: 22) cited material collected by Sellow in Brazil. The material at B studied by those authors was destroyed during WWII. The sole specimen associated with this name that could be found is at K, and has the handwritten annotation “Brazil, Sello.” That specimen, with barcode K000174314, is a branch with numerous inflorescences with flower buds and flowers in anthesis and has the penciled annotation (author unknown) “Psychotria leiocarpa Cham. et Schl.” Because there is no evidence on the specimen that it was studied by Chamisso and Schlechtendal, it is here designated the neotype of this name.

Chamisso and Schlechtendal (1829a: 22-23) described two varieties under *Psychotria leiocarpa*: var. *tropica* Cham. & Schltdl. and var. *extratropica* Cham. & Schltdl. Müller Argoviensis (1881: 281) described two additional varieties under *Psy. leiocarpa*, var. *constricta* Müll.Arg. and var. *intermedia* Müll.Arg. These four varieties have been treated as synonymous, and no infraspecific rank is here recognized for this species. The typifi-

cation of these varietal names is beyond the scope of the
present study.

**Notes:** In the protologue of *Psychotria mapourioides* DC., Candolle (1830: 509) cited the material studied as "In Guianâ Gallicâ legit cl. Patris." Delprete's (2010b: 914) citation of the type specimen as collected by Aublet and present in BM is a typographical error, as the original material of this name was collected by Patris and is in G-DC. This species has traditionally been known as *P. mapourioides* and is the name that was used in FGT. A recent article by Taylor et al. (2020) established that the corrected name for this species is *P. pedunculosa* Rich., which predates the name traditionally used. For further discussion about the delimitation this species and details on the typification of synonyms, see Taylor et al. (2020).

**Notes:** Candolle (1830: 510) in the protologue of *Psychotria platypoda* DC. cited the material studied as “in Guianâ Gallicâ legit cl. Patris. [...] Species distinctis sima! (v.s. sine fl.).” Delprete and Kirkbride (2016: 418) cited the type of *P. platypoda* as “French Guiana: without locality, s.d., *J.B. Patris s.n.* (lectotype, here designated: G-DC! [no barcode]; isolectotype G! [barcode unknown]).” However, after exhaustive search made in 2023, I was unable to find the sheet in G; hence, most likely this was an erroneous citation and presumably such specimen never existed in G.

The G-DC sheet corresponding with this name has the annotation “Psychotria platypoda DC.” handwritten by Candolle. Delprete examined and annotated it as the holotype of *P. platypoda* in 2013. All the material on that sheet was designated as the lectotype by Delprete and Kirkbride (2016), citing a duplicate in G as the isolectotype. However, a detailed re-examination of the sheet in G-DC supports a different conclusion. On that sheet are affixed two specimens that after Delprete’s examination were assigned two different barcodes, because they belong to two different gatherings. The specimen on the upper portion of the sheet, with barcode G00667343, is a branch with several leaf pairs and two infructescences. At the base of the upper specimen is affixed a label with the annotation “Cayenne ou Guyane françoise, Museum de Paris 1821” handwritten by an unknown author, most likely a person of the curatorial staff of the Natural History Museum in Paris in 1821. This also proves that specimen with barcode G00667343 was not collected by Patris, as Patris’ specimens were integrated in G-DC through L’Heritier Herbarium, hence this specimen is not original material.

The specimen on the lower portion of the G-DC sheet, with barcode G00667406, consists of a branch with two leaf pairs and a small infructescence. At the base of the lower specimen, is pinned a label with “Cayenne” handwritten by Candolle. Candolle was aware that this specimen was collected by Patris in French Guiana, as he wrote that information in the protologue (Candolle, 1830: 510), but did not add that information on the specimen label. In conclusion, the specimen with barcode G00667406 is the holotype of *Psychotria platypoda*.

Delprete and Kirkbride (2016: 418) listed *Psychotria brevipes* DC. as a synonym of *Palcourea dichotoma* (Rudge) Delprete & J.H. Kirkbr. [incl. *Psychotria platypoda*] and designated the lectotype of *P. brevipes*

Type: BRAZIL. Rio de Janeiro: Serra de Macacu, s.d., A.C.V. Schott 5302 (799.d) (first step lectotype designated by Steyermark (1972: 600); NY [barcode 00132735], second-step lectotype designated by Delprete and Kirkbride (2016: 418); isolectotype fragment F [Acc. No. 870290]).

**Notes:** Candolle (1830: 510) in the protologue of *Psychotria platypoda* DC. cited the material studied as “in Guianâ Gallicâ legit cl. Patris. [...] Species distinctis sima! (v.s. sine fl.).” Delprete and Kirkbride (2016: 418) cited the type of *P. platypoda* as “French Guiana: without locality, s.d., *J.B. Patris s.n.* (lectotype, here designated: G-DC! [no barcode]; isolectotype G! [barcode unknown]).” However, after exhaustive search made in 2023, I was unable to find the sheet in G; hence, most likely this was an erroneous citation and presumably such specimen never existed in G.

The G-DC sheet corresponding with this name has the annotation “Psychotria platypoda DC.” handwritten by Candolle. Delprete examined and annotated it as the holotype of *P. platypoda* in 2013. All the material on that sheet was designated as the lectotype by Delprete and Kirkbride (2016), citing a duplicate in G as the isolectotype. However, a detailed re-examination of the sheet in G-DC supports a different conclusion. On that sheet are affixed two specimens that after Delprete’s examination were assigned two different barcodes, because they belong to two different gatherings. The specimen on the upper portion of the sheet, with barcode G00667343, is a branch with several leaf pairs and two infructescences. At the base of the upper specimen is affixed a label with the annotation “Cayenne ou Guyane françoise, Museum de Paris 1821” handwritten by an unknown author, most likely a person of the curatorial staff of the Natural History Museum in Paris in 1821. This also proves that specimen with barcode G00667343 was not collected by Patris, as Patris’ specimens were integrated in G-DC through L’Heritier Herbarium, hence this specimen is not original material.

The specimen on the lower portion of the G-DC sheet, with barcode G00667406, consists of a branch with two leaf pairs and a small infructescence. At the base of the lower specimen, is pinned a label with “Cayenne” handwritten by Candolle. Candolle was aware that this specimen was collected by Patris in French Guiana, as he wrote that information in the protologue (Candolle, 1830: 510), but did not add that information on the specimen label. In conclusion, the specimen with barcode G00667406 is the holotype of *Psychotria platypoda*.

Delprete and Kirkbride (2016: 418) listed *Psychotria brevipes* DC. as a synonym of *Palcourea dichotoma* (Rudge) Delprete & J.H. Kirkbr. [incl. *Psychotria platypoda*] and designated the lectotype of *P. brevipes*
a specimen in G-DC, which at that time, did not have a barcode. That specimen was later assigned barcode G00667340. Delprete in 2013 annotated that specimen as the holotype of *P. brevipes*, and affixed an additional label with the annotation “Psychotria sp., not P. platypoda DC.” However, Delprete’s note about the identity of *P. brevipes* was overlooked by Delprete and Kirkbride (2016), who listed that name as one of the synonyms of *P. platypoda*. The identity of this name needs to be further studied. The specimen has strongly costate fruits, as characterized by Candolle in the original description, and is not synonymous with *P. platypoda*.

Another specimen in G, with barcode G00300388, was cited as isoleotype of *Psychotria brevipes* by Delprete and Kirkbride (2016: 418). That specimen has a label with the annotation “Cayenne, leg. Patris, Comm. De Candolle et L’Heritier.” It is not conspecific with the lectotype of *P. brevipes* in G-DC, which has barcode G00667340 (see above).

**Notes:** Kirkbride (1997: 370) designated as neotype of *Psychotria racemosa* Rich. a specimen in P, which was photographed and published in figures 7 and 8 of his article. The neotype specimen illustrated in fig. 7 and 8 was recently searched for in P several times by Kirkbride and the present author, and we are now certain that the specimen was lost. Therefore, a new lectotype specimen needs to be designated from original material. In P there is another specimen collected by L.C.M. Richard, with barcode P03824095, and the annotation "Nonatelia racemosa Aublet, t. 72, Guyana, Dedit Richard" handwritten by an unknown author. That specimen has another label, with the heading "HERB. MUS. PARIS" and the annotation "Guyane, donné par M. A. Richard" handwritten by an unknown author. The specimen with with barcode P03824095 is original material. It consists of a branch with three leaf pairs and a terminal infructescence and is here designated as the lectotype of *Psychotria racemosa* Rich.

On the second sheet at G, without barcode, is affixed a label with the heading "Herbier Delessert, Collection Générale" and the annotation "Spruce n. 3382" handwritten by an unknown author. According to Art. 8.3 of the *Code* "A specimen may be mounted as more than one preparation, as long as the parts are clearly labelled as being part of that same specimen, or bear a single, original label in common. Multiple preparations from a single gathering that are not clearly labelled as being part of a single specimen are duplicates, irrespective of whether the source was one individual or more than one." And specifically, Art. 8.3 Ex. 9 states that "In the Geneva herbaria, a single specimen is often prepared on two or more sheets, which are not therefore duplicates. Although the individual sheets are usually not labelled as being part of the same specimen, they are physically kept together in their own specimen folder and bear a single, original label in common." Therefore, the two sheets of *Spruce* 3382 at G are treated as a single specimen with multiple preparations. Specimen with barcode G00300489, mounted on two sheets, is here designated as the lectotype of *Psychotria stipulosa*.

Also, Taylor's citation cannot be treated as an inadvertent lectotypification because, according to the *Code*, it should have been accompanied by "here designated" or a similar expression. In addition, according to Andreas Fleischmann (pers. comm., 6 Nov. 2023), M Curator, after an exhaustive search, no original specimen of *Psychotria schuechiana* was located in M, and such specimen probably never existed in that herbarium, because there is no folder with such name at M.

Original specimens of *Psychotria schuechiana* have been found in G, NY, and W, and are below discussed.

The G specimen, with barcode G00300187, consists of two branches with fruits, and has a label with the annotation "P. Schuechiana Müll. Arg. – scripsit Müll. Arg." handwritten by Müller Agoviensis. However, the specimen does not have a label reporting collector and collector number. Because this specimen is annotated by Müller Agoviensis, it is here designated as the lectotype of this name.

**Notes:** Full synonymy and typification of this species is available in Taylor (2015a) and Delprete and Kirkbride (2016).

Frei José Mariano da Conceição Vellozo (1742–1811) wrote the *Florae Fluminensis*, a floristic study of the state of Rio de Janeiro and contiguous areas in the state of São Paulo (Pastore et al. 2021). The text of this multi-volume work was published posthumously in 1829, although the frontispiece reports “1825” as the publication date. And the *Icones*, the volumes with the illustrations were published in 1831, although the frontispiece reports “1827” as the publication date (Carauta 1969, 1973; Knapp et al. 2015; Pellegrini et al. 2015). Therefore, the plates published in the *Icones* are not original material. In addition, Vellozo’s herbarium is probably lost. Some authors have suggested that Vellozo’s herbarium was sent from Rio de Janeiro to Lisbon in 1798 and possibly carried from there to Paris by Geffroy de Saint-Hilaire during the Napoleonic invasion of Portugal (Borgmeier, 1961; Lima, 1995; Pellegrini et al. 2015). But these are just suppositions, and no specimen that can be associated to Vellozo’s names has been found in P or LISU.

Taylor (2015a: 90) and Delprete and Kirkbride (2016: 434) cited as lectotype of *Coffea sessilis* plate 20 of the second volume of *Florae Fluminensis Icones*. However, as explained above, the *Icones* were published two years after the description of the species, and they are not original material. Hence, Taylor’s and Delprete & Kirkbride’s lectotypifications of *C. sessilis* are not valid and should be superseded.

An original parchment plate of *Coffea sessilis* is kept in the Manuscript Section of the National Library in Rio de Janeiro, Catalogue No. mss1198651_023. The drawing has the heading “Pentand. Monog. COFFEA sessilis” and the handwritten number “20” on the upper right corner. On this drawing, as in Plate 20 of the *Icones*, is depicted a ramified branch with numerous leaves. The distal portion of the branchlets are depicted as antrorsely pubescent. The leaf blades are drawn as narrowly lanceolate with 24–26 secondary veins on each side of the midrib, although in some of them the secondary venation is not drawn. The inflorescences are axillary and sessile, with a few sessile flowers, some of them in anthesis. On the lower right portion of the drawing are depicted a flower in anthesis, a longitudinally dissected corolla, and a pistil with reflexed style lobes. The drawings on parchment of *C. sessilis*, with Catalogue No. mss1198651_023, preserved in the Manuscript Section of the National Library in Rio de Janeiro, is here designated the lectotype of *C. sessilis*.

Tafalla and Manzanilla sent their collections to Spain, where they were integrated in the Herbarium Peruvianum by Ruiz & Pavón and included in *Flora Peruviana et Chilensis*.

Ruiz and Pavón (1799: 61) described inflorescence and flowers of *Psychotria viridis* Ruiz & Pav. as “Racemi
terminales, subpaniculati, sesquipalmares. Pedunculi brachiati, tetragoni, compressiusculi. Flores parvi, sessilis, congesti" and cited the collection locality on the path between the Peruvian towns of Chinchao and Macora.

Andersson (1992: 171) cited the type of *P. viridis* as "Type: Ruiz & Pavón; Peru, Cuchero and Chinchao" without citing any herbarium of deposit. Delprete (2010b: 975) wrote that the holotype of *Psychotria viridis* Ruiz & Pav. is at MA. Taylor (2012d: 217) also cited the type of *P. viridis* as "Holotipo: Perú, Ruiz y Pavón s.n. (MA)." Searching for original material of *P. viridis*, two specimens, one original drawing, and the published plate are below described and discussed.

A specimen at MA with barcode MA815975, has a label with the annotation "Psychotria viridis Sp. Pl. Fl. Per." probably handwritten by Pavón. Another label has the heading "Herbarium Peruvianum Ruiz et Pavon" and the handwritten annotation "Psychotria viridis R. et Pav., nº 6/94, det. K. Krause." The specimen consists of a branch with several leaf pairs and a laxly branched inflorescence with numerous flower buds. Because of the laxly branched inflorescence, with terete peduncle and rachis, and the pedicellate flowers, this specimen does not correspond with Ruiz & Pavón's description and is not *Psychotria viridis*.

An original, colored drawing of the Royal Botanical Expedition to the Viceroyalty of Peru, by José Brunete is glued on a larger sheet. On the top of the larger sheet is affixed a printed label with the text "REAL JARDÍN BOTÁNICO, CSIC ARCHIVO – *Real Expedición Botánica al Virreinado del Perú*, AJB04-D-0425_001." On the drawing is depicted a branch with numerous leaf pairs, and large, oblong-obovate stipules. The stem, peduncle and rachis are quadrangular, and the flowers are sessile. At the lower right corner of the drawing are depicted a flower in anthesis, a dissected corolla with included stamens, and a pistil with a bifid style. At the lower left corner, inside the frame of the drawing is written "Brunete". At the bottom of the sheet, outside the frame of the drawing, at the bottom left corner is handwritten the number "14", and at the middle is handwritten "Psychotria viridis." All the features depicted on this drawing correspond entirely with Ruiz & Pavón's description.

Table 210, Figure b, of Ruiz & Pavón's (1799) *Flora Peruviana et Chilensis* is nearly identical to the original drawing by José Brunete, described above. *Psychotria viridis* is depicted in the lower portion of the plate, and differs from the original drawing in several features: A) the lower part of the branch is not depicted; B) the lateral branch depicted in the original drawing, with three leaf pairs and apical stipules, is missing; C) the leaves are drawn with secondary veins reaching the leaf margin,

alternating with shorter veins reaching only half the width of leaf lamina. While in Brunete's drawing, the secondary veins are all the same length and reach the leaf margin, i.e., drawn as they are in nature.

In conclusion, Brunete's original drawing, made during the Royal Botanical Expedition to the Viceroyalty of Peru, kept in the CSIC Archives of the National Museum of Natural History of Madrid, with the code AJB04-D-0425_001, is here designated the lectotype of *Psychotria viridis* because it better corresponds to the description by the authors.

A specimen at G, with barcode G00300468, has a label with the printed text "Herbier Delessert – Collection Générale". On that label is glued a smaller label with the annotation "808 Psychotria sp. n." handwritten by an unknown author, and "Perou. – M. Pavon." probably handwritten by Pavón. The specimen consists of one branch with several leaf pairs, a large oblong-obovate stipule present at the node subtending the inflorescence, and an inflorescence with several flower buds. This specimen corresponds with Ruiz & Pavón's description.

**Accepted generic name:** *TAPANHUACANGA*
Vand., Fl. Lusit. Bras. Spec. 9. 1788.

**Notes.** Moraes (2018) in an article dealing with the plant names published by Vandelli (1788) concluded that *Tapanhuacanga* Vand. is synonymous with *Pyllocarpus* Mart. & Zucc. and published eleven new combinations in *Tapanhuacanga*. Carmo et al. (2019) submitted a well-supported proposal to conserve the name *Pyllocarpus* against *Tapanhuacanga*, to preserve taxonomic stability, and also indicated that the genus is probably not monophyletic. The Report of the Nomenclature Committee for Vascular Plants, lead by Applequist (2023), after considering the arguments offered by Carmo et al. (2019) to conserve *Pyllocarpus* against *Tapanhuacanga*, did not recommend the conservation. Therefore, *Tapanhuacanga* is the name to be used for this genus, and the new combinations published by Moraes (2018) are here followed.

**Etymology:** The name *Tapanhuacanga* originated from the Tupi language and its etymology was discussed by Moraes (2018: 50–51) as follows "According to Sampaio (1901: 58), *Tapanhuacanga* derives from *tupuyuna*, a negro, *acanga*, head, is the name given to the rocks described by Eschwege (1822) as "debris from angular, sharp edged fragments of iron luster and magnetic iron

**Notes:** Bernardino Antonio Gomes (1801: 31) below the name *Richardia brasiliensis* Gomes cited the vernacular names and references as "*Poaia do campo* in Civitate Riojanaeria. *Ipecacoanha blanca? Pis. Bras.*" The plant is depicted in Plate 2 of that publication. Lewis and Oliver (1974) cited the type of *R. brasiliensis* as "Type: Brazil: Gomes s.n. (LISU)." After exhaustive searches in LISU by Ana Isabel Correia (LISU Herbarium Curator), it was concluded that the specimen of *R. brasiliensis* cited as type by Lewis and Oliver (1974) is either lost or destroyed. According to the *Code*, original material is constituted by specimens and original illustrations associated with a given name. On plate 2 of Gomes's *Memoria* is depicted a plant with several terminal inflorescences, and nodes with the fimbriate stipules typical of *Richardia*. On the plate are also present details of flowers in anthesis, a style with three branches, a fruit, a 6-lobed calyx, mericarps in adaxial and abaxial view, and a minute seed. As no original specimen could be found, Plate 2 of Gomes's *Memoria* is here designated the lectotype of *R. brasiliensis*. According to Lewis & Oliver (1974) and Delprete (2010b), the most diagnostic character in the differentiation of species of *Richardia* is the morphology of the adaxial side of the mericarps. The mericarps of *R. brasiliensis* have a medial keel on the adaxial side, whereas those of *R. scabra* L. and *R. grandiflora* (Cham. & Schltdl.) Steud. have a longitudinal groove on the adaxial side. Although on Gomes' Plate 2 mericarps are depicted, because the minute seeds are drawn to real size, it is impossible to see if on the adaxial side, there is a longitudinal keel or a longitudinal groove. Therefore, to definitively fix the application of the name, an epitype needs to be designated. The specimen *Delprete 9180* at RB is here designated the epitype of *R. brasiliensis*, and the duplicates of the same gathering present in other herbaria are isoepitypes.

The original specimen at B, was destroyed during WWII. In its photograph, F0BN000848, it is possible to see that it belongs to the gathering *Sellow 3144*. Lewis and Oliver (1974: 283) cited the type of *R. grandiflora* as "Lectotype: Brazil: Sellow s.n. (K! as photo NY)."

On the K sheet cited as lectotype of *Richardsonia grandiflora* by Lewis and Oliver are present two different gatherings. The outer specimen, with barcode K000016466, has a label with the annotation "Richardsonia grandiflora N., Brasilia" handwritten by Schlechtendal. By the side of the outer specimen is handwritten "Chamisso", meaning that this specimen was collected by Chamisso. Therefore, although specimen K000016466 was annotated as "Richardsonia grandiflora N." by Schlechtendal, it cannot be original material.

The inner specimen of the K sheet, with barcode K000016522, has a label with the heading "Herb. Reg.

On the label of the specimen with barcode K000016522 there is also the stamp "Herbarium Hookerianum, 1867." This specimen was collected by Sellow, but it does not have any proof that it was examined by Chamisso and Schlechtendal.

As a result of the above analysis, the specimens with barcodes K000016466 and K000016522, mounted on the same sheet, cannot be treated as original material; therefore, Lewis and Oliver's lectotypification is here superseded.

At HAL there is a specimen with barcode HAL0098298, and the handwritten annotation "Richardsonia grandiflora, Sellow. Brasilia meridionalis" and the stamp "scripsit: D.F.L. v. Schlechtendal". This specimen is original material and consists of a plant with a perennial taproot and several branches with flowers and fruits. Although on this specimen Sellow's collection number is not present, and was not cited in Chamisso and Schlechtendal's publication, it is here designated the lectotype of *Richardsonia grandiflora*.

**Accepted name:** *Rosenbergiodendron longiflorum* (Ruiz. & Pav.) Fagerl.

**Type:** PERU. Huánuco: ["Habitat in Andium nemoribus imis calidis ad Pozuzo"], s.d. [1793-1797], *H. Ruiz López & J.A. Pavón y Jimenez s.n.* (MA [barcode MA 815987], **lectotype here designated**; isolectotypes F [Acc. No. 844706], G [barcode G00436642], HAL [2 sheets, barcodes HAL01141104, HAL01141105], MA [barcodes MA 815982, MA 818834], MA carpological collection [accession No. MA-01-00781219], MPU [barcode MPU021522]).

**Notes:** Ruiz and Pavón (1799: 67) cited the original material of *Gardenia longiflora* Ruiz & Pav. as "Habitat in Andium nemoribus imis calidis ad Pozuzo" without citing the herbarium of deposit. They collected in the Spanish colonial territories of the Viceroyalty of Peru and Chile, during 1777-1788. Gustafsson (1998: 459) cited the type of *G. longiflora* as "Type. Peru. Hminucu: Pozuzu, *Ruiz & Pavón s.n.* (lectotype, here designated, MA; isolectotypes, F, MA; photo at F as neg. 311, with prints at E, GH, and NY)." He also stated "original lectotype, designated by Steyermark, 1972, B, destroyed". However, Steyermark (1972) only indicated that he saw a photo of the B specimen, which was destroyed during WWII, and did not designate that specimen as type. Gustafsson (1998: 459) cited a lectotype and an isolec-
totype in MA, but he did not specify which MA specimens is the lectotype, therefore, according to current standards, that lectotypification is not valid, and type annotations on specimens are not publications. In MA there are two drawings by Isidro Gálvez and José Gabriel Rivera, and several specimens of *Gardenia longiflora* collected by Ruiz and Pavón, which are below described and discussed.

The original plate drawn by Isidro Gálvez is fully colored and is affixed on a sheet with the printed label “REAL JARDÍN BOTÁNICO, CSIC ARCHIVO, Real Expedición Botánica al Virreinato del Perú, AJBD04-D-0442_001.” At the top of the drawing is the number “219” and at the bottom of the drawing “Gardenia longiflora” in the center, and the number “18” on the left corner. In the drawing is depicted a branch with numerous leaves, three flowers in anthesis, a flower bud, and two mature fruits. On the left side of the drawing, there is a fruit transversally dissected and a seed.

The original plate drawn by José Gabriel Rivera is partially colored and affixed on a sheet with the printed label “REAL JARDÍN BOTÁNICO, CSIC ARCHIVO, Real Expedición Botánica al Virreinato del Perú, AJBD04-D-1900_001.” At the bottom of the drawing is written “602. Gardenia.” In the drawing is depicted a branch with numerous leaves, one flower bud, and a flower in anthesis. On the lower portion of the drawing are depicted a flower in anthesis, a hypanthium with a receptive style, and a corolla longitudinally dissected.

The MA specimen with barcode MA 815981 has a label with the annotation “Gardenia longiflora Sp. Peruv. Fl. Per.” handwritten by Pavón. Below that label is affixed another label with the annotation “Pentandria monogynia, Mussaenda formosa Jacq.?, Vulgo Bisama de Castilla, F. H. D. 151. L. 602. Año oct. 800” handwritten by an unknown author. Ruiz and Pavón collected in the Spanish colonial territories of the Viceroyalty of Peru and Chile during 1777-1788, and published *Gardenia longiflora* in 1799. Hence this specimen is not original material. It consists of several branches with numerous leaves, several flower buds, and one flower in anthesis. It was annotated as isolectotype by Gustafsson but is not original material.

The MA specimen with barcode MA 815982 has a label with the heading “Herbarium Peruvianum Ruiz et Pavon, and the annotation “Randia formosa (Jacq.) K. Sch. var. longiflora (R. et Pav.) K. Sch. N° 7/12 det. K. Krause, I.1931.” A second label has the annotation “Gardenia longiflora Sp. Pl. Fl. Per.” handwritten by Pavón. This specimen consists of three branches with numerous leaves, several flower buds, flowers in anthesis, and a portion of a fruit. This sheet does not have any information regarding the collection locality and was annotated

as lectotype by Gustafsson. Because Gustafsson in his publication did not specify which MA specimen is the lectotype, and because annotations on specimens are not publications, Gustafsson’s lectotype citation is not valid. This specimen is an isolectotype.

The MA specimen with barcode MA 815985 has several labels. On the lower right corner is a label with the heading “Herbarium Horti Botanici Matritensis, Plantae a «Ruiz et Pavón» in vice-regno Peruviano et Chilensis lectae. (1778-1788)”, the stamp “Ex antiquo herbario generali”, and the typewritten annotation “Randia formosa (Jacq.) Sch. v. longiflora (R & P) Sch.” On the lower left corner is affixed a label with the annotation “Randia Ruiziana DC, Gardenia longiflora Fl. Peruv.” handwritten by an unknown author. Above that label is affixed another label with the annotation “Gardenia longiflora Fl. Peruv.28a 219 fª a, Ex Herbario Fl. Peruv. anno 1828” handwritten by the same unknown author. Because this specimen does not have any proof that was seen by the authors, it cannot be treated as original material.

The MA specimen with barcode MA 815987 has a label with the heading “Herbarium Peruvianum Ruiz et Pavon, and the annotation “Randia formosa (Jacq.) K. Sch. var. longiflora (R. et Pav.) K. Sch. N° 7/10 det. K. Krause, I.1931.” A second label has the annotation “Gardenia longiflora Sp. Pl. Fl. Per. c. icone” handwritten by Pavón. This specimen consists of two branches with numerous leaves, several flower buds, and flowers in anthesis. This sheet does not have any information regarding the collection locality. Also, because this specimen has a label annotated by Pavón, is original material, and is here designated as the lectotype of *Gardenia longiflora*.

The MA specimen with barcode MA 818834 has a label with the heading “Herbarium Horti Botanici Matritensis, Plantae a «Ruiz et Pavón» in vice-regno Peruviano et Chilensis lectae. (1778-1788)”, the stamp “Ex antiquo herbario generali”, and the typewritten annotation “Randia formosa (Jacq.) Sch. v. longiflora (R & P) Sch.” Above that label is affixed another label with the annotation “Gardenia longiflora Sp. Pl. Fl. Per.” handwritten by Pavón. This specimen consists of three branches with numerous leaves and several flower buds. This sheet does not have any information regarding the collection locality. Because this specimen has a label annotated by Pavón, is original material and is an isolectotype.

In the carpological collection at MA there is a specimen with accession No. MA-01-00781219, which has a label with the recently printed annotation “Hortus Regius Matritensis (MA), Plantae a”Ruiz et Pavón” in vice-regno Peruviano et Chilensis lectae. (1778-1816), Rubi-
totype in MA, but he did not specify which MA specimens is the lectotype, therefore, according to current standards, that lectotypification is not valid, and type annotations on specimens are not publications.

The MA specimen with barcode MA 818834 has a label with the heading "Herbarium Horti Botanici Matritensis, Plantae a «Ruiz et Pavón» in vice-regno Peruviano et Chilensis lectae. (1778-1788)", the stamp "Ex antiquo herbario generali", and the typewritten annotation "Randia formosa (Jacq.) Sch. v. longiflora (R & P) Sch."

In the carpological collection at MA there is a specimen with accession No. MA-01-00781219, which has a label with the recently printed annotation "Hortus Regius Matritensis (MA), Plantae a"Ruiz et Pavón" in vice-regno Peruviano et Chilensis lectae. (1778-1816), Rubi-
aceae, *Gardenia longiflora*, Perú. Pozuzo, 1785. Etiqueta: "Gardenia longiflora / Pozuzo 1785; llego sin sobre" Col. Carpológica Ruiz & Pav. n° 100274 (MA 781219)." On the sheet is affixed an envelope with the annotation "Gardenia longiflora, Pozuzo 1785" handwritten by Pavón. The envelope contains twelve cylindrical fruits, with the characteristic features of this species. Because the annotation is by Pavón, this specimen is original material and is an isolectotype.

Other specimens of *Gardenia longiflora* are at BC, F (2 sheets), G, HAL, and MPU. Those specimens where either sent to those herbaria as exchange material or sold by Pavón and are discussed below.

The F Sheet with Accession No. 844706 has three labels. One label has the heading "Herbarium Horti Botanici Matritensis, Plantae a «Ruiz et Pavón» in vice- regno Peruviano et Chilensi lectae. (1778-1788)", the stamps "Ex antiquo herbario generali" and "EX DUPLA", and the typewritten annotation "Randia formosa (Jacq.) Sch. v. longiflora (R & P) Sch., Guayaquil." By the side of the label is the annotation "(a Tafalla coll.)" handwritten in pencil by an unknown author. On the lower left corner is affixed a label with the annotation "Gardenia longiflo- ra Fl. Per." handwritten by Pavón. A second label is the annotation as lectotype by C. Gustafsson of 1998. The specimen consists of two branches with numerous leaves and three flower buds. The annotations "Guayaquil" and "(a Tafalla coll.)" are probably erroneous. This specimen is original material and is an isolectotype.

The F Sheet with Accession No. 712545 has two labels. One label has the heading "Herbarium Horti Botanici Matritensis, Plantae a «Ruiz et Pavón» in vice- regno Peruviano et Chilensi lectae. (1778-1788)", and the annotation "Randia formosa (Jacq.) K. Sch. var. longi- flora (R. et P.) K. Sch., [NUM.] 711" handwritten by an unknown author. The specimen consists of two branch- es, one sterile with several leaves, and the other with two flower buds and a few leaves. There is no evidence on the sheet that it was seen by the authors and cannot be treat- ed as original material.

At MPU there is a sheet with barcode MPU021522, with several labels. On the lower left corner of the sheet is affixed a label with the annotation "Gardenia longi- flora. Pérou, dedit Pavón." Just above is another label with "Gardenia longiflora" handwritten in ink by an unknown author, and "Randia Ruiziana DC" handwrit- ten in pencil by another unknown author. The name *Randia ruiziana* DC. was published by Candolle (1830: 388) citing the collection locality indicated in Ruiz and Pavón's (1799: 67) protologue. The specimen consists of a small branch with several leaves and a flower in anthesis, and fous loose flowers in different developp-

mental stages. Because the sheet has a label annotated as "Gardenia longiflora" by Pavón, this specimen is original material, and is an isolectotype.

In G there is a sheet with barcode G00436642 and the label "Gardenia longiflora, Perou. – M. Pavon." The specimen consists of a branch with several leaves and a flower with corolla lobes wrinkled up, probably post- anthesis. This specimen is original material and is an isolectotype.

At HAL there are two sheets associated with this name. Specimen with barcode HAL01141104 has a label with the heading "Herb. Reg. Berolinense" and the print- ed annotations "Peruvia et Chili" and "Ruiz legit ex her- bario Lamberti." On that label is annotated "Gardenia longiflora" handwritten in ink by an unknown author. The specimens consist of a ramified branc with numer- ous leaves and a flower bud. The other HAL specimen with barcode HAL01141105 has a label identical to that of the other HAL specimen. Those specimens represent original material and are isolectotypes.

On the sheet at BC with barcode "Ruiz & Pav. BC-872647" associated with this name are affixed three relevant labels. On the lower right corner is affixed a label with the annotation "Gardenia longiflora, Flora Peruana. Habitat in Andium nemoribus imis calidis ad Pozuzo. [...]" handwritten by an unknown author. On the upper right corner is glued a label with the printed text "Herbari Ruiz & Pavón, cedit par la Real Acadèmia de Ciències i Arts de Barcelona al Departament de Botànica a proposta del Dr. Pius Font i Quer l'any 1925. N. intern: 149 [number handwritten]." On the center of the sheet is affixed a label with the annotation "Rand- ia formosa (Jacq.) K. Sch. var. longiflora (R. et Pav.) K. Schum." handwritten by an uknown author (the name of the author is covered by one leaf of the specimen). This specimen does not display any proof that it was seen by the authors and is not original material.

**Notes:** Müller Argoviensis (1876b: 462) described the material examined of *Rudgea burchelliana* Müll. Arg. as "Inter Rio Paranahyba et Urbem Goyaz: Burchell n. 6372" and did not cite the herbarium of deposit. In BR there is a sheet with barcode 000000532776. On the sheet are affixed two branches. Next to each of them there is a label with the printed text "Burchell. Catalogus Geographicus Plantarum *Brasiliae* Tropicae. No" and the handwritten number "6372". At the bottom right corner of the sheet is affixed a label with the heading "Herbarium Martii", the stamp "Herb. Hort. Bruxell. Coll. Martii", and the handwritten annotation "Brasilia: inter Riv. Paranahyba et urbem Goyaz. Communic. H. Kewense 1868, Burchell n° 6372." Just above that label, there is a label with the annotation "Rudgea Burchelliana Müll. Arg." handwritten by Müller Argoviensis, and the stamp "Müller d'Argovie determ." Because this is a complete specimen annotated as *Rudgea burchelliana* by Müller Argoviensis, it is here designated as the lectotype of this name.

At K there is a sheet with two branches and the two barcodes K000843174 and K000843175. Each branch has a label with the printed text "Burchell. Catalogus Geographicus Plantarum *Brasiliae* Tropicae. N°" and the handwritten number "6372". Both branches have numerous leaves and terminal inflorescences with several flowers in anthesis. On the sheet, it is handwritten in black ink by an unknown author (not Müller Argoviensis) "Rudgea Burchelliana, Müll. Arg., Flora '76 p. 462."

At G there is a sheet with barcode G00436613 on which is affixed an envelope with the annotation "Rudgea Burchelliana Müller Arg., Inter Riv. Paranahyba et urbem Goyaz: Burchell n. 6372" handwritten by Müller Argoviensis. In the envelope are preserved three loose leaves and a few flowers in anthesis. This specimen is an isolectotype.

**Notes:** In the protologue of *Rudgea erioloba* Benth., Bentham (1850: 459-460) cited three gatherings as "Prov. Goyaz, Gardner n. 3218, 3221. Pohl" and did not cite the herbarium of deposit. He routinely studied the specimens at K and BM. Of the three gatherings cited by Bentham, *Gardner 3218* is the one that has duplicates distributed in more herbaria. Two specimens in K and one in BM of *Gardner 3218* deserve special attention and are below discussed.

On one K sheet, there are two different gatherings. On the upper portion of the sheet is affixed a specimen, with barcode K000005188, and next to it there is a label with the printed text "Prov. Goyaz, Brasilia tropica, Gardner, 1841" and the handwritten annotation "3218 Coffea". Near that specimen there is also the stamp "Herbarium Benthamianum 1854". This specimen was collected by Gardner in 1839, as reported in the labels

**Notes:** Müller Argoviensis (1876b: 462) described the material examined of *Rudgea burchelliana* Müll. Arg. as "Inter Rio Paranahyba et Urbem Goyaz: Burchell n. 6372" and did not cite the herbarium of deposit. In BR there is a sheet with barcode 000000532776. On the sheet are affixed two branches. Next to each of them there is a label with the printed text "Burchell. Catalogus Geographicus Plantarum *Brasiliae* Tropicae. No" and the handwritten number "6372". At the bottom right corner of the sheet is affixed a label with the heading "Herbarium Martii", the stamp "Herb. Hort. Bruxell. Coll. Martii", and the handwritten annotation "Brasilia: inter Riv. Paranahyba et urbem Goyaz. Communic. H. Kewense 1868, Burchell n° 6372." Just above that label, there is a label with the annotation "Rudgea Burchelliana Müll. Arg." handwritten by Müller Argoviensis, and the stamp "Müller d'Argovie determ." Because this is a complete specimen annotated as *Rudgea burchelliana* by Müller Argoviensis, it is here designated as the lectotype of this name.

At K there is a sheet with two branches and the two barcodes K000843174 and K000843175. Each branch has a label with the printed text "Burchell. Catalogus Geographicus Plantarum *Brasiliae* Tropicae. N°" and the handwritten number "6372". Both branches have numerous leaves and terminal inflorescences with several flowers in anthesis. On the sheet, it is handwritten in black ink by an unknown author (not Müller Argoviensis) "Rudgea Burchelliana, Müll. Arg., Flora '76 p. 462."

At G there is a sheet with barcode G00436613 on which is affixed an envelope with the annotation "Rudgea Burchelliana Müller Arg., Inter Riv. Paranahyba et urbem Goyaz: Burchell n. 6372" handwritten by Müller Argoviensis. In the envelope are preserved three loose leaves and a few flowers in anthesis. This specimen is an isolectotype.

This specimen was collected by Gardner in 1839, as reported in the labels
of the BM and K sheets. The specimen with barcode K000005188 is a ramified branch with numerous leaves and several inflorescences with flowers in anthesis and flower buds, and is here designated as the lectotype of *Rudgea erioloba*.

On the second sheet at K, barcode K000005189, is affixed a label with the annotation "3218. Coffea. Rubiaceae. A shrub 8 feet high - fl. white odoriferous, Mission of Duro. Oct. 1839." The sheet has the stamp "Herbarium Hookerianum 1867." This specimen is a ramified branch with numerous leaves and several inflorescences with flowers in anthesis and is an isolectotype.

The sheet at BM, barcode BM000832006, has the annotation "3218. Woods Ripam ad Duro, Provinciae Goiaz, Set. 1839. A small tree" handwritten by Gardner. At the bottom of the sheet is the penciled annotation "Rudgea erioloba Benth. in Linn. 23, p. 459." The specimen is a ramified branch with numerous leaves and several inflorescences with flowers in anthesis. This specimen is an isolectotype.

The town of Duro, cited as the collection locality of Gardner 3218, has an interesting history. Initially it was an indigenous village of the Acroás ethnicity, in the state of Goiás. Then, when the Portuguese started to extract gold from the locality, it was renamed São José do Duro. The name "Duro" is a simplification of "D'ouro", meaning "of gold". In 1938, the town was renamed Dianópolis. In 1988, the state of Goiás was divided into two states, and the northern portion became the state of Tocantins. Hence, the town originally called "Duro" is now called Dianópolis and is in the state of Tocantins. The botanist Johan Emanuel Pohl also collected in Duro in 1818. An interesting account of an expedition to São José do Duro made in 1918 was recently re-printed by Coelho (2008).

**Accepted name:** *Rudgea longiflora* Benth.

Type: BRAZIL. Tocantins: [Prov. Goyaz], "Mission of Doro" [Missão do Ouro, now Dianópolis], s.d. [Oct. 1839], *G. Gardner 3215* (K [barcode K000275527], **lectotype here designated**; isolectotype, K [barcode K000275526]).

**Notes:** Bentham (1850: 457), in the protologue of *Rudgea longiflora* Benth., cited the gathering "Prov. Goyaz, Gardner n. 3215" without citing the herbarium of deposit. Delprete (2010b: 1062) cited a specimen at K as holotype. However, there are two specimens of *Gardner 3215* at K. The specimen with barcode K000275526, has the stamp "Herbarium Hookerianum. 1867" and the handwritten annotation "3215. Rubiaceae. A shrub about 6 feet high. Shady road. Mission of Doro [town of Duro, now Dianópolis]. - Oct. 1839." (For the history of the town of Duro, see discussion under *Rudgea erioloba*). Just below that label is handwritten, directly on the sheet, "Gardner, Goyaz." The specimen consists of a branch with three leaves, nodes with fimbriate stipules, and a terminal inflorescence with several flowers in anthesis and flower buds at different stages of development.

The other K specimen, with barcode K000275527, has the stamp "Herbarium Benthamianum. 1854" and a label with the printed text "Prov. Goyaz, Brasilia tropica, Gardner, 1841" and handwritten "3215 Coffea?" This specimen consists of a branch with three leaves, nodes with fimbriate stipules, and a terminal inflorescence with numerous flower buds at different stages of development. This specimen is here designated the lectotype of *Rudgea longiflora*.

**Notes:** Bentham (1850: 455) published *Rudgea myrsinifolia* Benth. (as "*myrsinaefolia*") and cited the sole gathering *Regnell Ser. 1. n. 274* without citing the collection locality or the herbarium of deposit. Several specimens of *Regnell Ser.

On the lower left corner is a label with the printed text "Brasiliae, prov. Minarum ad Caldas. Communic. Andr. Frid. Regnell 1867 sub N°." and handwritten "I. 274." That label also has the stamp "Herb. Hort. Bruxell. - Coll. Martii." On the lower right corner of the sheet there is a handwritten label (author unknown) with the annotation "I.274 Ex speciminibus C.

The flowering stage of the specimens examined, i.e., specimens with young inflorescences and closed flower buds will present different ratios between corolla-tube and corolla-lobes to older inflorescences where corollas are open. Overall corolla length might have been affected by the same factors of maturity and also by heterostyly, which is present in all species observed so far. The number of pairs of secondary veins between 5-9 and 10 and above was considered different but there is considerable overlap between these categories once the sample studied becomes larger. The presence or absence of cornicula was used to differentiate between taxa, but there are intermediate stages and in the same population, making such categories not very clear-cut." Under *R. jasminoides*, Zappi recognized four subspecies, subsp. *jasminoides*, subsp. *corniculata* (Benth.) Zappi, subsp. *micrantha* Zappi, and subsp. *nervosa* Zappi & Anunciação. These four subspecies have distinct distributions, although overlapping in several instances." Delprete et al. (2005) and Delprete (2010b) preferred to maintain *R. myrsinifolia* and *R. jasminoides* as separate species, and distinguished *R. myrsinifolia* as having corollas 11-13 mm long, with tubes 6-7 mm long and lobes 5-7 mm long; whereas *R. jasminoides* has corollas 18-25 mm long, with tubes 8-11 mm long and lobes 8-11 mm long.

**Notes:** Rusby (1893: 48), in the protologue of *Rudgea tomentosa* Rusby, cited the gathering *Bang* 367, without citing the herbarium of deposit. Rusby (1893: 48) described *R. tomentosa* in the article "On the Collections of Mr. Miguel Bang in Bolivia" in issue number 3 of volume 3 of the *Memoirs of the Torrey Botanical Club*. According to the table of contents presented in the volume, issue N. 3 was published on 28 April 1893. In the introduction to the article, Rusby wrote that Miguel Bang's Bolivian collections were distributed to more than 20 individuals and institutions. Three specimens of *Bang* 367 are annotated as *R. tomentosa* by Rusby, two of them are at NY and one at PH, which are below described and discussed.

The NY specimen with barcode 00133240 bears a label with the heading "PLANTAE BOLIVIANAE. A Miguel Bang Lectae. Herbario Collegii Columbiae, a N.L. Britton et H.H. Rusby distributae" and the printed text "Yungas. 1890." On the label is handwritten "Rudgea Hostmanniana Benth." Rusby stroked through "Hostmanniana Benth." and substituted it with "tomentosa, Rusby sp. nov." in black ink. On the sheet there is the stamp "Columbia College - Herbarium - New York." The specimen consists of a ramified branch with numerous leaves and two inflorescences with flower buds and flowers in anthesis. This specimen is here designated the lectotype of *R. tomentosa*.

The NY specimen with barcode 00133241 bears a label with the same heading of the other *Bang* 367 specimen at NY and the printed annotation "Yungas. 1890." On the label is handwritten "Rudgea Hostmanniana Benth." Rusby stroked through "Hostmanniana Benth." and substituted it with "tomentosa, Rusby sp. nov." in pencil. On the sheet there is the stamp "College of Farmacy Herbarium - Deposited 1948 in The New York Botanical Garden." As the other specimen at NY consists of a ramified branch with numerous leaves and two
inflorescences with flower buds and flowers in anthesis. This specimen is an isolectotype.

The PH specimen with barcode 00021601 has a label with the same heading of the NY specimens and the printed text "Yungas. 1890." On the label is handwritten "Rudgea Hostmanniana Benth." Rusby stroked trough "Hostmanniana Benth." and substituted it with "tomentosa, Rusby n. sp." in black ink. The specimen consists of a branch with a few leaf pairs and one terminal inflorescence. This specimen is an isolectotype.

Zappi identified several type specimens of *Rudgea tomentosa* as *R. viburnoides* (Cham.) Benth., but these two taxa are two distinct species. Rusby (1893: 48) described *R. tomentosa* from material collected in Bolivia. He described the leaf abaxial surface as "light gray-green, finely tomentose". However, on the abaxial side of leaves of the type specimens of *R. tomentosa*, the leaf lamina are either glabrous or sparsely, microscopically puberulous, and the veins are puberulous. Several gatherings collected in the states of Mato Grosso, Tocantins, Goiás and in the Federal District have been identified by Steyermark, Boom and Kirkbride as *R. tomentosa*, and the leaf structure corresponds to that of the type specimens. Such gatherings are similar to *R. viburnoides* in having leaf blades with lucid adaxial surface and paniculate inflorescences. *Rudgea tomentosa* can be differentiated from *R. viburnoides* in having leaf blades planar with abaxial side glabrous or puberulous; while in the latter the leaf blades are strongly bullate, with the abaxial side pubescent to tomentose. However, these vegetative differences might be the result of ecological adaptations. Further studies are necessary to confirm the separation of these two taxa.

**Notes:** In the protologue of *Coffea viburnoides* Cham., Chamisso (1834: 228) cited the material studied as "Brasilia inter tropicos. Sellow." Stafleu and

Cowan (1976: 482) wrote, "Chamisso's own herbarium was also acquired by LE." Therefore, original material of *C. viburnoides* might be present in LE. Zappi (2003: 580), regarding the type of *C. viburnoides*, stated "Brasilia intertropica, *Sello* (B†). Lectotype (designated here): Type: *Sello* s.n. (K!)." At K there is a sole specimen of *C. viburnoides*, with barcode K000275064, with the annotation "lectotype of *C. viburnoides* Cham." handwritten by Zappi. The specimen label has the heading "Ex Museo botanico Berolinensi", with the printed text "Brasilia, leg. Sellow", the handwritten annotation "Rudgea viburnoides Bth." and the stamps "determ. C. Schumann" and "15 nov 1907". Also affixed to the sheet, there is a small label with the penciled annotation "Rel. Sell. [Reliquiae Sellow] 3.6.II." and the stamp "15 nov 1907". There is no evidence on the sheet that this specimen was studied by Chamisso. The specimen consists of a small branch with numerous leaves and a few infructescences. The rachis of the infructescences is strongly tomentose. The leaves are strongly bullate, with a lucid adaxial side, and the veins and lamina are strongly tomentose on the abaxial side.

inflorescences with flower buds and flowers in anthesis. This specimen is an isolectotype.

The PH specimen with barcode 00021601 has a label with the same heading of the NY specimens and the printed text "Yungas. 1890." On the label is handwritten "Rudgea Hostmanniana Benth." Rusby stroked trough "Hostmanniana Benth." and substituted it with "tomentosa, Rusby n. sp." in black ink. The specimen consists of a branch with a few leaf pairs and one terminal inflorescence. This specimen is an isolectotype.

Zappi identified several type specimens of *Rudgea tomentosa* as *R. viburnoides* (Cham.) Benth., but these two taxa are two distinct species. Rusby (1893: 48) described *R. tomentosa* from material collected in Bolivia. He described the leaf abaxial surface as "light gray-green, finely tomentose". However, on the abaxial side of leaves of the type specimens of *R. tomentosa*, the leaf lamina are either glabrous or sparsely, microscopically puberulous, and the veins are puberulous. Several gatherings collected in the states of Mato Grosso, Tocantins, Goiás and in the Federal District have been identified by Steyermark, Boom and Kirkbride as *R. tomentosa*, and the leaf structure corresponds to that of the type specimens. Such gatherings are similar to *R. viburnoides* in having leaf blades with lucid adaxial surface and paniculate inflorescences. *Rudgea tomentosa* can be differentiated from *R. viburnoides* in having leaf blades planar with abaxial side glabrous or puberulous; while in the latter the leaf blades are strongly bullate, with the abaxial side pubescent to tomentose. However, these vegetative differences might be the result of ecological adaptations. Further studies are necessary to confirm the separation of these two taxa. Meanwhile, I prefer to treat them as distinct species.

These two infraspecific taxa are forms because Chamisso and Schlechtendal in the protologue stated “Utramque formam in Brasilia intratropica legit Sellowianus” [Sellow collected both forms in intertropical Brazil].

Candolle (1830: 361) described *Exostema formosum* Cham. & Schltdl. ex DC. and the forms *α leprosum* DC. and *β laeve* DC. He did not assign a rank to the two forms. Article 37.4 of the *Code* (Turland et al., 2018) states that “If in one whole publication (Art. 37.5), prior to 1 January 1890, only one infraspecific rank is admitted, it is considered to be that of variety unless this would be contrary to the author’s statements in the same publication.” Therefore, the rank to be assigned to Candolle’s infraspecific taxa published in his *Prodromus* is variety. For *Exostema formosum*, he cited “in Brasilia intratropicali (V.s.)”. The expression “V.s.” (Vidi siccum) means that he saw a specimen in his herbarium. However, for the two varieties he did not cite any specimen.

There is a sole original specimen of *Exostema formosum* Cham. & Schltdl. ex DC. in G-DC, with barcode G00665732. That specimen has a label with the annotation “Exostemma formosum Ch. et S!” handwritten by

Candolle. A second label is affixed on the sheet has the annotation “Exostemma formosum N. var. laeve, Brasilia, Mus. Roy. de Berlin 1830.” That specimen is here designated the lectotype of *Exostema formosum*, and the neotype of this name designated by Delprete (1999a: 85) is here superseded.

Because the G-DC specimen with barcode G00665732 has a label with the annotation “Exostemma formosum N. var. laeve”, it is here designated as the lectotype of *Exostema formosum* var. *β laeve* DC.

In HAL there is a specimen with barcode HAL097787 with a label bearing the annotation “Exostemma formosum N. var. laeve, Brasilia” handwritten by an unknown author. The specimen, collected by Sellow, consists of one branch with three leaves and a terminal inflorescence with flower buds and an inflorescence branch also with flower buds. This specimen is an isolectotype of *Exostema formosum* var. *laeve* DC.

Another specimen in HAL with barcode HAL097786 has a label with the handwritten annotation “Exostemma formosum N. var. leprosum, Brasilia”. The specimen, collected by Sellow, consists of a single leaf. This specimen is here designated the neotype of *Exostema formosum* var. *leprosum* DC.
