content: Protologue, "Banks of Rio Cajabon, near Coban, alt. 4,300 feet, Dec., 1886. (Ex Pl. cit. 204.)". Two US sheets (USNH 1338093, 1338094) were received from the John Donnell Smith herbarium, both numbered 204 but with different collection dates. This sheet (1338094) bears collection date cited in protologue (Dec. 1886) and was annotated as "holotype" by L. Alan Prather (1995). D. Gibson (1966) and Prather (1988) annotated the other US sheet (1338093) as "isotype" (Prather also cited a US isotype, 1999, Syst. Bot. Monogr. 57: 73) but that sheet bears 2 labels; Donnell Smith's label is identical to that on the other sheet, with same date (Dec. 1886) but Türckheim's original label indicates it was collected Jan. 1888, and thus it cannot be considered part of the type (although it is surely original material).
