content: One of two US sheets (USNH 941234 & 941239) received from the John Donnell Smith herbarium, neither clearly identified as holotype. USNH 941234 has been annotated "type" by A.C. Smith (1931) and as "holotype" by R.L. Wilbur (1977) & J.L. Luteyn (2006), [& 941239 as "type coll." & "isotype"], probably best regarded as lectotype (J.L. Luteyn, pers. email to J.K. Boggan, Feb. 2007).
label: Notes
content: Protologue apparently mis-cites collector as Anastasio Alfaro; all other data match this Cooper specimen and no corresponding specimens by Alfaro have been found among the John Donnell Smith material.
