Veracruz : Rio Blanco , Orizaba , Bourgeau 2536 ( BR barcode 000000552905 [digital photo!], isolectotypes G barcode G00415142 [digital photo!], GH barcode 00077065 [digital photo!], K barcode K000063121 [digital photo!], MPU barcode MPU310734 [digital photo!], P barcode P00385091 [digital photo!], P barcode P00385092 [digital photo!], S [cited by Bitter, but not seen]; image of the lectotype is available at http://www.br.fgov.be/RESEARCH/COLLECTIONS/ HERBARIUM/detail.php?ID=503587) . Nomenclatural notes :— Bitter (1919) cited three gatherings in the protologue: Bourgeau 2536, Bourgeau 1753, Ross 1158 , and he cited the herbaria housing the specimens that he examined ( BR , G, MPU, P, and S). We located most of the original material that he cited and annotated: Bourgeau 2536 ( BR barcode 000000552905]), G barcode G00415142, MPU barcode MPU310734, P barcode P00385091, P barcode P00385092, S [not seen]); Bourgeau 1753 ( BR barcode 000000552839, G barcode G00415141, M barcode M-0171795, MPU barcode MPU310733, P barcode P00368664, P barcode P00368663, S [not seen]; Ross 1158 (M barcode M-0171796). The Bourgeau 2536 specimen at BR ( BR barcode 000000552905) is selected here as the lectotype for the name Lycianthes anomala . Taxonomic notes :— Lycianthes anomala is an epiphytic vine or shrub with dendritic trichomes and purple, stellate corollas. Traditionally, it has been treated as a Mexican endemic (known from the states of Veracruz and Oaxaca ), but it may also occur in Central America ( Reyes Cornejo 2015 , Villaseñor 2016 ).
