Note:
Grau (in
Mitt. Bot. Staatssamml.
Muenchen
9: 275. 1973) indicated both 997.6 and 997.7 (LINN) as types. These collections do not form part of a single gathering (so Art. 9.15 does not apply) and Wijnands (
Bot. Commelins
: 75. 1983) was correct to reject this as an ineffective type choice. Jones & Hiepko appear to have been the first to make an explicit type choice.
