Treatment

Evelyna longibracteata Lindley View in CoL in Grisebach (1864: 623)

Lectotype (designated here): JAMAICA. S.d., March 1204 ( GOET 013926 View Materials !).

Isolectotype: JAMAICA. S.d., March 1204 (K 000463735!).

Syntype (?): DOMINICA. S.d., Muray (?)275 (K 000463736!).

We selected the specimen GOET 013926 as lectotype since Grisebach was based in Göttingen, and he cited this collection in the description ( Grisebach 1864:623; ‘Hab. Jamaica!, Macf., March: …’). The possible syntype (K 000463736) is mentioned here as Grisebach listed Dominica as additional habitat in the protologue ( Grisebach 1864: 623). The specimen was included in the Herbarium Hookerianum in 1867 (see specimen K 000463736), and hence it was probably collected before Grisebach described the species.
