(neotype, designated here: LE barcode 00003676; isoneotype: LE barcode 00003677; possible isoneotype: S-PLE-E4208 n.v.). Type . Brazil . Rio de Janeiro , s.d. (lf, fl), L. Riedel s.n. ( lectotype , designated here: LE barcode 00003676; isolectotype: LE barcode 00003677; possible isolectotype: S-PLE-E4208 n.v.) . Note. Robyns (1963 , p. 203) designated "Riedel s.n. (LE)" as lectotype of Bombax calophyllum . When Fernandez-Alonso (1998) made the combination in Pachira , he accepted Robyn's type designation, but stated that he had not seen the lectotype. Robyns annotated the two Riedel specimens in St. Petersburg (LE) cited above as " Bombacopsis calophylla (K. Schum.) A. Robyns, comb. nov. " and wrote " lectotypus " on the one specimen that has a handwritten label indicating the type locality as " Brasiliae : R. Janeiro ," locality information that matches the protologue. The ICN ( Turland et al. 2018 ; Art. 7.10) requires that a type designation be effectively published and the mere annotation of a herbarium sheet does not meet this requirement. Our lectotypification (second step; see Turland et al. 2018 ; Art. 9.17) narrows the type to a single element, a gathering that has loose leaves and a fragmented flower (calyx, ovary, and androecium). The isolectotype is sterile. The protologue of Bombax stenopodum cites a single collection, "E. Ule n. 4631," which was deposited in Berlin (B†; see F neg. no. 9545). Inasmuch as the Berlin specimen was destroyed in WWII and no duplicate material has been found, we designate a neotype for this name. Our choice makes this name an obligate synonym of Pachira calophylla .
