Ficus halliana Britton View in CoL in Fawcett & Rendle (1914: 51)

Lectotype (designated here): — JAMAICA. John Crow (Blake) Mountains , 10 March 1909, Harris & Britton 10765 (lectotype: NY00532787 !; isolectotypes: B100244652 !, US00090085!).

Nomenclatural notes:— The protologue does not cite the herbarium in which the type, Harris & Britton 10765, was allocated. According to the code (Art. 7.11, note 2, ex. 13), when the herbarium was not mentioned, all specimens of that gathering are syntypes and, therefore, a lectotype must be designated. Berg & Villavicencio (2004) cited as type (in the work as “ holotype ”) material deposited in the NY herbarium, however, this cannot be considered a lectotypification because it was published after 2001 and the “designated here” or a similar phrase was not used (Art. 7.11). Here we designate the material NY00532787 as the lectotype because it contains well preserved syconia. Britton’s main herbarium is NY, this also supports the choice .

Taxonomical note:— Ficus halliana was synonymized by Berg (2007) and Ibarra-Manríquez et al. (2012) as F. pertusa .
