Notes.
– The
holotype
is a collection folder of two sheets of which one is unlabeled.
We agree with
THELLUNG (1906b: 149)
that
L. pichleri
is a cultivated form of
L. vesicarium
in which the stems failed to inflate at the inflorescence nodes to produce the characteristic aspect of the species. In every other feature of the plant the former is indistinguishable from the latter.
