Type :— BRAZIL . Bahia : Monte Santo , “ Habitat in sylvis Catingas dictis prope Montem Sanctum ”, Martius s.n. ( holotype M! [M0210187]; F! negative number 19699) . This original specimen mentioned in the protologue was collected in Bahia , and it is preserved in Herbarium M , which is cited by Martius as the place where his collections are located ( Martius 1826 , Stafleu & Cowan 1976 –1988: 325). In the absence of duplicates, we confirm Martius s.n. (M0210187) as the holotype of L. candicans (Arts. 9.1 and 9.2 of the ICN), as also recognized by Cunha (1985) . Schumann (1886: 154) considered L. candicans as a synonym for L. uniflora . However , Burret (1926: 826) recognized the priority of the name L. candicans over L. uniflora , as the former was correctly published in 1826 ( Martius 1826: 102 ), while the latter was published two years later ( Saint-Hilaire 1828: 291 ). Based on holotype study, the application of the name L. candicans is fully confirmed herein as an accepted species, as accepted by Cunha (1985).
