Duranta coriacea Hayek (1906: 88) View in CoL

Type (lectotype, designated here):— COLOMBIA. Cauca, s.d., H. Karsten s.n. (W No. 0061992 [digital image!], right-hand specimen; image of the lectotype is available at http://herbarium.univie.ac.at/database/detail.php?ID=628410) .

Protologue citation:—“Nouvelle Grenade, Prov. de Cauca: Vellée de Cauca, 1000 m (Triana 2074).—Cauca (Karsten).—Andes Quitensis: Pallatanga (Spruce 5574).”

Notes:— Hayek (1906) mentioned three collections in the protologue that can be considered as syntypes (Arts. 9.3, 9.5 of the ICN, McNeill et al. 2012). One of these collections was done by Richard Spruce near Pallatanga ( Ecuador) in 1858, numbered 5574 (K barcode 000202297 [digital image!], W No. 1889-0294722 [digital image!], W No. 1889- 0166962 [digital image]!). The second was collected in Cauca (Nouvelle Grenade, Colombia today) by J. J. Triana, numbered 2074 ( BM barcode 001191075 [digital image!], BM barcode 00119076 [digital image!], G barcode 00382618 [digital image!], P barcode 02886094 [digital image!], W No. 0061990 [digital image!]), and finally the third one was collected in Cauca by H. Karsten, without any collection number (W No. 0061992 [digital image!]).

The specimen collected by H. Karsten is here selected as lectotype because it matches the original description and it is the most complete material (it has flowers and fruits).
