Notes
:—Although
Torrey (1859)
did not indicate the herbarium which houses the type collection, it is well-known that his personal herbarium is kept at NY (
Stafleu & Cowan 1986
), as has been pointed out by
Moldenke (1940b: 126)
. Moldenke’s statement is here interpreted according to the modern ICN (
McNeill
et al.
2012
) as a
lectotype
designation. However, two sheets were found at NY, thus Moldenke’s statement can be considered as a first-step typification. In order to narrow Moldenke’s designation the most complete specimen is here selected as a second-step
lectotype
(Art. 9.17 of the ICN,
McNeill
et al
. 2012
,
McNeill 2014
). Two
isolectotypes
were also found, which are currently housed at herbaria ISC and
US
.
