Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. 8: 68. 1910 . Lectotypus (in hoc loco designatus): PARAGUAY . Amambay : “ Sierra de Amambay in campis serrados Esperanza”, XI.1907 -1908, Hassler, E. & T. Rojas 10848 ( G [ G0009 4606 ]! [lf, fr]) . Syntypi : BRAZIL . State of Mato Grosso : “Brasiliae civit. Matto Grosso: Cuyabá”, 4.XII.1902 , Malme, G. O. A. s.n. ( S [ SR11280 ] [image]! [lf], S [ S10-38650 ]! [lf]); “Brasiliae civit. Matto Grosso: Cuyabá. In cerrado”, 4.VII.1903 , Malme, G. O. A. s.n. ( S [ SR11279 ] [image]! [fl]) . Under B. longiflorum var. emarginatum, HASSLER (1910: 68) accommodated B. longiflorum f. multifoliolatum as a different taxon from B. longiflorum f. elegans (R. E. Fr.) Hassl. (÷ B. elegans R. E. Fr. ). However, Hassler did not designate a holotype for var. emarginatum . Types of the names of the two forms published by him (see under their names) are syntypes of this variety. We choose as lectotype of this variety the specimen that is also the holotype of B. longiflorum f. multifoliolatum as it allows a clear application of the present name according to Hassler’s concept. The syntype Malme s.n. [SR11279] is also the lectotype of B. elegans , and the syntype Malme s.n. [S10-38650] is also epitype of B. elegans .
