Luehea conwentzii Schumann (1886: 154) .

Type:— BRAZIL. Rio de Janeiro: “in collibus apricis”, 1832, Riedel 107 (lectotype, designated here, BR! [BR0000005491391] ; isolectotypes C! [C10019549]; E! [E00894822]; G! [G00357099]; K! [K000381835]; L! [L2352793]; M! [M0210184], [M0210185]; MEL! [ MEL2451387 ], [ MEL 2451388 ]; NY! [NY00415477]; P! [P02142945], [P02142946], [P02142947]; S! [S-R-11135], [S13-2361]; W! [W0002578]) . São Paulo: Campos da Bocaina , 27 September 1879, Glaziou 11795 (syntypes remaining C! [C10019550]; P! [P06663915]).

When describing L. conwentzii, Schumann (1886) cited two collections in the protologue, Riedel 107 and Glaziou 11795, which are syntypes, therefore, in accordance with Art. 9.3 of the ICN, it is maybe select a lectotype. Cunha (1985) designated Riedel 107 in LE as the type, but no specimen has ever been found in this herbarium (L. Averyanov, pers. comm.). For this reason, we herein designate Riedel 107 ( BR549139 ) as the lectotype by choosing the most complete and preserved specimen. Based on Cunha (1985) and the present study, the application of the name L. conwentzii is confirmed as an accepted species.
