In Martius’
protologue, the specimens on which this name is based are not specifically indicated.
Nevertheless
, it is known that collections of
Martius
are deposited in
Herbarium M
(
Stafleu & Cowan 1976
–1988: 325).
Cunha
(1985)
mentioned “
Martius s.n.
” (M) as the
holotype
, specifying not to have seen it (“
Holotypus
– M, non vidi”), and not reporting any record number. This means that the status of the type needs to be corrected as
lectotype
and considered as a first-step typification (Art. 9.17 of the ICN). Therefore, in accordance with Arts. 9.3 and 9.4 of the ICN, we designate herein the specimen
Martius s.n.
(M0210173) as a second-step
lectotype
by choosing the most complete specimen and one that is congruent with the protologue’s description. The specimen M0210174 is only a reproduction of Figure 61 from Martius’ work. Based on
Cunha
(1985)
and the present study, the application of the name
L. grandiflora
is confirmed as an accepted species.
