Viola tridentata Smith (1819 View in CoL : Viola n. 76)
Type (lectotype, designated here):— [ ARGENTINA. Tierra del Fuego:] Staten Land [Isla de los Estados,] February 1787, A. Menzies s.n. (LINN. HS1380-75 [digital image!]; isolectotype, BM 000513338 [digital image!]) .
Protologue citation:—“Gathered by Mr. Menzies, in February 1787, on the mountains of Staten Land, growing among the snow.”
Distribution:—Native of Argentina and Chile. In Argentina it is known for Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego provinces.
Notes:—We found two well preserved specimens that fully agree with the protologue of Viola tridentata , one deposited at BM and another at LINN. When describing this species, James E. Smith (1819) did not mention where the type material was located. We selected the specimen at LINN as lectotype since Smith worked at LINN ( Stafleu & Cowan 1985) and some materials collected by Archibald Menzies were deposited there ( Stafleu & Cowan 1981).
