Nomenclatural revision of Ficus sect. Americanae (Moraceae): typification of Ficus americana and allied species Author Pederneiras, Leandro Cardoso Author Romaniuc-Neto, Sergio Author Mansano, Vidal De Freitas text Phytotaxa 2018 2018-07-19 361 2 244 250 http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.361.2.9 journal article 10.11646/phytotaxa.361.2.9 1179-3163 Ficus chiribiquetensis Dugand, Caldasia 2: 375. 1944 . Lectotype (designated here): — COLOMBIA . Vaupés , Río Macaya , Cerro Chiribiquete , 16 May 1945 , Schultes 5445 (COL-15345!; isolectotypes : COL-15343!, COL-15344!, COL-15346!, SI !, US!). Nomenclatural notes:— In the protologue, there is no reference to which specimen in the herbarium COL is the type of F. chiribiquetensis is. There are four preparations from a single gathering ( Schultes 5445 ) with no clear indication on the label whether these are parts of the same specimen ( Turland et al. 2018 , Art. 8.3). Therefore, they are considered four duplicates and we designate Schultes 5445 (COL-15345) as the lectotype because it contains branches, leaves, syconia, and stipules. Taxonomical notes:— The currently accepted name for this taxon is Ficus americana subsp. guianensis .
