It is clear from the protologue that Urban did not have at his disposal a specimen with a flower (“flores non vidi”,
Urban, 1925
), and that he was describing this species from material in B that is no longer extant. The two rather scrappy sheets at S are both annotated “type”, but only one (S04-2941) has reproductive parts (one flower and two fruits in the packet). This sheet (
Fig. 3c
) is chosen here as the lectotype.
