Graffenrieda anomala Triana (1871: 71)

Type (lectotype, designated by Lima et al. 2017):— COLOMBIA. “In provincia Choco Novae Granatae”, s.d. [1851-1857], J. Triana 3866 (K000329508!, isolectotypes BM [cited by Lima et al. 2017 but not seen], G-DC00319859 [digital image!], P02274704 [digital image!], remaining syntypes BR000000562829 [digital image!] [fragments!], COL000003221 [digital image!], NY 00228577).

Calyptrella littoralis Gleason (1945: 473)

Type (lectotype, designated here):— COLOMBIA. “collected at Quebrada de Guapecito, on the coast of El Valle”. 16 May 1944, Cuatrecasas 17698 ( NY 00221480!, isolectotypes COL 000003195!, F1297505!, P00700692 [digital image!]).

Notes: The lectotype of Graffenrieda anomala was designated by Lima et al. (2017). However, these authors did not include Calyptrella littoralis as a synonym of this species as previously proposed ( Almeda et al. 2016). Calyptrella littoralis does not have a single designated specimen type, as required by Art. 8.1 of the ICN ( Turland et al. 2018). Gleason (1945) in the protologue of C. littoralis designated the collection Cuatrecasas 17698 without reference to any herbarium. Considering that there are duplicates in COL, F, NY and P, the specimen deposited in NY is designated as lectotype since it has the seal “Dissected and draw by HA Gleason”, so it is inferred that it is a specimen in accordance with the author’s taxonomic concept for the species.
