Luehea hoehnei Burret (1926: 833) .

Type:— BRAZIL. Mato Grosso: “ Caminho para Facão-Caceres ”, Hoehne 237 (holotype B destroyed, photo in F! [negative number 9244] ; neotype, designated here:— Brazil. Mato Grosso: 1891, Moore 139, NY! [ NY00996514 ]) .

In the protologue of L. hoehnei , specimen Hoehne 237 (B) is cited. Unfortunately, this specimen was destroyed in 1943 during World War II (R. Vogt, pers. comm.), along with other original material in another herbarium. For this reason, we designate herein Moore 139 (NY00996514) as the neotype, according to Art. 9.8 and 9.16 of the ICN. It was selected based on the geographical origin of the lost holotype and morphological characteristics described in the protologue. Based on Burret (1926) and the present study, the application of the name L. hoehnei is confirmed as an accepted species.
