Notes
:—
Norman (2000)
designated as
lectotype
of
B. tenuifolia
a fragment housed at
F
. However, as clearly explained by
Planchuelo & Ariza Espinar (2015)
, Dr.
A
. Grisebach was Professor at the University of Goettingen from 1837, and was appointed Director of the Botanical Garden there in 1875.
P
.
G
. Lorentz’s collections from
Argentina
were kept at
CORD
and another set was sent to
GOET
where Grisebach had the opportunity to study the Argentinian material (
Hunziker 1960
). So Grisebach’s new species are certainly based on the study of material housed at
GOET
. Nevertheless, according to Art 9.3 of the
ICN
original material comprises also” the
isotypes
or
isosyntypes
of the name irrespective of whether such specimens were seen by either the author of the validating description or diagnosis or the author of the name”. Following Art. 7.9 and 7.10 the author who first designates a
lectotype
in conformity with Art. 9.11–13 must be followed, even if it is not certain the fragment material from
F
was seen by the author.
