Synopsis and lectotypification of Solanum (Solanaceae) species endemic in the West Indies Author Madrid, Anales del Jardín Botánico de Author 2009 Author Knapp, Sandra text Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid 2009 2009-07-07 66 1 65 84 journal article 10.3989/ajbm.2209 c4363035-d9cd-4166-a623-4e29d85a4be9 6326308 Solanum chamaecanthum Griseb., Cat. Pl. Cub.: 190. 1866 Type: Cuba . “ in savanis prope Hanabana ”, 1865, C. Wright s.n. ( lectotype , GOET [ GOET0001970 ] , designated here; isolectotype, GOET [GOET0001971]; possible isolectotypes (numbered 3634), GH [GH- 77546], K [K000196224], NY [NY00111375, NY00689170], S [S04-2892]). Distribution. Endemic to Cuba, in low elevation swampy areas, common in the northwestern part of the island around Havana. Representative specimen. Cuba, Camagüey, Ekman 8600 (S). In describing S. chamaeacanthum , Grisebach (1866) did not cite a specific Wright collection number. Wright’s duplicates are not all numbered, and some distributed without numbers are clearly duplicates of numbered collections. A sheet at GOET (GOET0001970) is labelled “savanas Habanana” and is an un-numbered Wright collection, making it the clear choice for a lectotype ( Fig. 2a ). Another sheet (GOET0001971) was annotated lectotype by R.A. Howard in 1984, but as it does not have the locality associated with the protologue has not been selected here as the lectotype.
