Nomenclatural notes:—
The protologue did not mention the herbarium where the type of
F. coerulescens
was deposited.
Berg & Villavicencio (2004)
and
Berg (2009)
indicated
Williams 800
(NY) as the
holotype
; however, this should not be considered a lectotypification because it occurred after 2001 and the phrase “designated here” or similar phrase was not used (
Turland
et al.
2018
, Art. 7.11). Here, we agree with
Berg & Villavicencio (2004)
and
Berg (2009)
and designate
Williams 800
(NY) as the
lectotype
of the species.
