content: Standley & Valerio 49894 was cited (in the same work!) by Standley as the type of Perrotettia racemosa Standl. and as a paratype of Lozania montana Standl. Both names were annotated on this US specimen (albeit the Perrotettia racemosa annotation struck out). Specimen was found filed as Lozania mutisiana, as determined by W.C. Burger in 1971. He annotated it as "not a type". It was later (1976) annotated as the same taxon by Sleumer, who did not identify it as a type of any name. As you can see from the label, it was annotated as "Type" by Standley. It's not clear if this refers to the name Lozania montana Standley annotated on the specimen (perhaps he originally intended this specimen to be the type of that name) or to his original annotation of Perrotetia racemosa Standley, that name inexplicably struck out. However, I note that Standley also cited Standley & Valerio 49894 under Lozania montana Standley (p. 722) so either he made a grave error, or considered the collection to be a mixture of 2 very different taxa. Also oddly, Standley did not indicate in which herbarium the type of Perrottetia racmosa was deposited although he did so for (all?) other new taxa published in the same work. Is there a duplicate in the Field Museum clearly annotated as the holotype of this name? If not, Sleumer's citation of a holotype is probably an effective lectotypification.
