Cryptantha granulosa (Ruiz & Pav.) I.M. Johnst., Contr. Gray Herb. 68: 54. 1923.
Cryptantha granulosa
≡
Myosotis granulosa
Ruiz & Pav., Fl. Peruv. 2: 5. 1799. Type: Peru. Lima: "In Chancay collibus", s.d.,
H. Ruiz & J.A.
Pavon
s.n.
(lectotype, designated here: MA [MA814804 digital image!]).
Note.
According to the protologue of
Myosotis granulosa
, Ruiz
Lopez
&
Pavon
(1799) based the description of this species on two syntypes they had collected during their stay in the Americas. The first collection was made in Lima, Peru, while the other one consists of a collection from Chancay, Peru. Two specimens linked to this name were located at MA in full agreement with the diagnosis and localities cited in the protologue. From among the material available for typification purposes, the specimen MA814804 from Chancay is preferred over the material from Lima (MA814805) since it bears an original label annotated, in
Pavon's
hand, as "
Myosotis granulosa
". Therefore, it is here selected as the lectotype of the name.
