Gomphrena elegans View in CoL fo. microcephala Suessenguth (1950: 5)

After a short diagnosis, Suessenguth (1950: 5) reported “Argentinien, Gob. Misiones, Dep. Cainguas, Puerto Rico.- Leg. E. Schwindt nr. 632 (4.III.1948).- Herb. Miguel Lillo Tucuman; Herb. München” .

Holzhammer (1956) indicated: “ Typus varietatis: Argentinien: Misiones, Cainguas, Puerto Rico. III. 1948 (Schwindt no. 632)Herb. München”. Holzhammer’s statement can be considered and interpreted as a lectotypification ( McNeill et al. 2012).
