content: Originally recorded as isotype; annotated as isotype by H. & R. Ochyra (2004) and later as isolectotype by H. Bednarek-Ochyra & R. Ochyra (2018). Ochyra et al. (1988) cite holotype at "BM-Dixon" but protologue explicitly states (p. 7) "The types of these are in the United States National Herbarium" and as this specimen was annotated as "Type" by Dixon (and there are no other duplicates of this collection at US), it is certainly the holotype.
