Notes
:—In the protologue of
B. andina
Rusby
mentioned “Vic,
La Paz
,
10000 ft.
, 1889 (85) Rusby’s 2050”. In general this would be enough to point to a
holotype
specimen in
NY
, where
N
. Britton worked, were it not that there are
two specimens
(sheets) of
Rusby
2050
in
NY
. One of these is here selected as the
lectotype
(Art. 9.17 of the
ICN
,
McNeill
et al
. 2012
,
McNeill 2014
).
Miguel Bang was a Danish botanist who collected mainly in
Bolivia
(
Stafleu & Cowan 1976
) and whose plants are mostly at
NY
and
US
. There are several specimens collected by Bang number 85, from the same place and date as
Rusby 2050
, distributed to several herbaria (
BR
,
E
,
GH
,
K
,
NDG
,
NY
,
US
). In 1889 Rusby and Bang agreed to collaborate to continue floristic studies in
Bolivia
(
Ochoa 1990
). Although most probably Bang’s collection is a duplicate from Rusby’s, both have different collector and number, so to avoid ambiguity the
Rusby 2050
is selected here as
lectotype
, in agreement with the protologue.
