Nomenclatural notes
.
Tebbitt (2015c)
attempted to lectotypify
Begonia pusilla
A.DC.
with the specimen
H.A. Weddell
4215 (G-DC ex P).
Smith & Schubert (1944a)
had, however, already effected this lectotypification by citing the same specimen as the
type
. The earlier typification should be followed (see Article 9.19 of the Shenzhen Code; Turland
et al.
, 2018). The same
is true of
Begonia warburgiana
Hieron.
(
Hieronymus, 1895
), which Tebbitt attempted to lectotypify based on
A. Stübel
24b (B [B100186583]) but cited the same sheet and barcode as the
isolectotype
. This lectotypification was also effected by
Smith & Schubert (1944a)
.
We note that
Tebbitt (2015c)
cited the
type
of
Begonia gracillima
A.DC.
as a Bolivian collection. This specimen was collected by C. Gay, who collected only in
Peru
and
Chile
. It was collected in
Peru
, as indicated by the label, which clearly states ‘Pérou’. This name has not been applied in
Bolivia
, so we exclude it from this treatment.
