Gomphrena oligocephala var. pallida Suessenguth (1940: 9) View in CoL

The protologue of Gomphrena oligocephala var. pallida ( Suessenguth 1940: 9) consisted of a short diagnosis plus the mention of the following four specimens (syntypes according to the Art. 9.5): “Argentinia: Salta, Sierra del Cajou , El Alisal 2800 m.—Leg. Rodriguez, III. 1914 no. 1420.—Tucuman, Dep. Tafi, Cerro de San José, leg. Venturi II. 1925 no. 3571.—Tucuman, Cuesta de Guasamayo, leg. Schreiter II. 1927 no. 5490.— Bolivia: prope Basorapa 1900 m; leg. K. Troll II. 1928 no. 1143” .

Holzhammer (1956: 195) indicated “Typus varietatis: Argentinien: Salta, Sierra del Cajou, El Alisal, III. 1914, 2800 m.s.m. (Rodriguez no. 1420). Herb. München”. Actually, there are four Rodríguez’s sheets at M (codes 0241762, 0241763, 0241764, and 0241766), and numbered with 1420. Since only one of these sheets bears a Holzhammer’s annotation indicating “typus varietatis” (M-0241762), I prefer to interpret it as the lectotype.
