The type collection of
Solanum gundlachii
(
Wright 3030
) is present in many herbaria, some of which have both flowers and fruit. The specimen at GH [GH00077553] has both flowers and mature fruits and is here selected as the lectotype. The sheet clearly represents two separate gatherings, as two labels bear different collection dates and appear to come from different localities (see
Fig. 3b
).
