7. Vanilla bertoniensis Bertoni (Bertoni 1910: 10)

Fig. 1 F

Type.

PARAGUAY – Alto Paraná • Puerto Bertoni; Bertoni 6039; holotype: SCP! [SCPD 00036]; clonotype: SCP! [SCPD 00041] .

Notes.

In the introduction of the paper in which Bertoni published this species, he explicitly stated that he was working on materials from his own herbarium (Bertoni 1910). Although two specimens with the number Bertoni 6039 are deposited at SCP, one was prepared after the formal description of V. bertoniensis (3 Jan. 1911) and therefore cannot be the holotype. Therefore, a single specimen matching the protologue was located, and we find this sufficient to unambiguously determine it as the holotype.
