Notes
.
Cassia centijuga
was described based on the collection
Peckolt 228
, although there is no indication in the protologue about where the
holotype
was deposited.
According
to
Ostermeyer (1907
-1908),
Theodoro Peckolt
donated a collection of
303 specimens
of plants collected in 1860 for the
Flora
do
Brasil
to the
Herbarium of Wien. We
were able to locate
four specimens
of the collection
Peckolt
228
deposited in the
Wien Herbarium
(W), all of which have annotations in
Wawra’s
handwriting on the identification labels, which is clear evidence that they are specimens from the collection referred to in the original description.
The specimens of the collection
Peckolt 228
are well preserved, with fully expanded leaves;
two specimens
(W-0028994 and W-0028995) have only apparently ripe fruits;
two specimens
have flowers, one with only a few flowers (W-0028996); specimen W-0028997 has complete inflorescences with well-preserved flowers. According to the protologue, the main characters used for description of
Cassia centijuga
were the number of leaflets, type of inflorescence, and floral characters of the androecium and gynoecium. Those characters are present in specimen W-0028997, and it is designated here as the
lectotype
.
