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
.
