Bitter var. pilosiuscula (M.Martens & Galeotti) Bitter (1919: 428) ≡ Solanum pilosiusculum Martens & Galeotti (1845: 136) . Type ( lectotype , designated here):— MEXICO . Oaxaca : Cerro del Malacate ( Pelado Capulalpan and Llano Verde ), near Villa Alta , 7500 ft. , Nov to Apr 1840 , Galeotti 1171 ( BR barcode 000000552882 [digital photo!] [photo WIS !], isolectotypes BR barcode 000000552849 [digital photo!], BR barcode 000000552911 [digital photo!], G barcode G00343182 [digital photo!], K barcode K000585746 [digital photo!], LE barcode LE-00017009 [digital photo!], NY barcode 00139019 [digital photo!], US barcode 00027745 [digital photo!], W No. 156335 [specimen not seen but photos of specimen at WIS ! and MO No. 1690668!]) . Nomenclatural notes :— Martens and Galeotti (1845) cited one gathering, Galeotti 1171 , in the protologue, and duplicates of the gathering were widely distributed at herbaria internationally. We were able to trace specimens kept in BR , G, K, LE , NY , US : ( BR barcode 000000552882, BR barcode 000000552849, BR barcode 000000552911, G barcode G00343182, K barcode K000585746, LE barcode LE- 00017009, NY barcode 00139019, US barcode 00027745, W No. 156335 [specimen not seen but photos of specimen at WIS and MO No. 1690668]). These specimens completely agree with the protologue and can be safely considered as original material (Art. 9.3. of the ICN, McNeill et al . 2012 ). One of the Galeotti 1171 specimens at BR , annotated by M. Nee in 1986 as the lectotype ( BR barcode 000000552882), is selected here as the lectotype for the name Solanum pilosiusculum . Taxonomic notes :—This taxon will be considered a synonym of L. pilifera in an upcoming work by the first author.
