Notes
:—
Maranta bracteosa
was described by Petersen in 1889, at “Symbolae ad floram Brasiliae centralis cognoscendam: Scitaminae”, edited by Warming. Nonetheless, it was effectively published (see Art. 31.1,
ICN
) only on
May 8th 1890
(
Stafleu & Cowan 1983
). Petersen (1890) only cited a
Warming
gathering, without further details.
Three specimens
were found at
C
herbarium with labels indicating they were part of Warming’s Herbarium, together with the collector’s handwriting, gathering number and locality.
A
photo negative made by Macbride (Photo Negative no.
F
9838) representing the specimen once placed at
B
herbarium, which was subsequently destroyed, was also found with fragments and an illustrative analysis. The specimen
C
10014449 is designated here as
lectotype
since it is the most complete extant duplicate.
