NOTE. — Several Mélinon specimens of Sextonia rubra that are labelled isotypes at P are dated 1862 ( P00711138 , P00711139 ), 1864 ( P00711130 , P00711134 , P00711135 , P00711136 ) or 1865 ( P00711137 ), therefore are probably not from the same gathering as the specimen labelled as holotype ( P00711131 ), which is dated 1863. But the fact that one of them ( P00711137 ) bears the same label in Mez's hand as the “ holotype ” implies that the original material is composed of at least two distinct gatherings (from 1863 and 1865, respectively), making it necessary to designate a lectotype .
