.
Notes
:
—
The types of most of Martius’ Brazilian species are deposited at M (
Stafleu & Cowan 1979
). Hajo Esser, curator for
Zygophyllaceae
at M and a specialist for Martius’ collections, found three sheets that seem to be duplicates of the same gathering (pers. comm.). Sheet M0243868 is designated here as
lectotype
for corresponding best to the illustration accompanying the protologue (tab. 163). In addition it is very well preserved, with plenty of leaves and flowers for future studies (
Fig. 2
).
Notes
:
—
As pointed out by
Porter (1969)
and previously by
Foster (1958)
, the name ‘
Kallstroemia tribuloides
Wight & Arn
.., Prodr. 1: 1834: 145’ is commonly used for this taxon, but the combination was never proposed by Wight and Arnott.
Steudel (1840)
was the first to validly publish the combination, incorrectly attributing it to Wight and Arnott.
