Note:—In the protologue, Handel-Mazzetti (1932b) cited a single gathering R. C. Ching 7174, but he did not specify the herbarium where the type is deposited. Five duplicates are traced and all are syntypes under Art. 9.6 (Turland et al. 2018). NAS00358543 is here selected as the lectotype for it with fruits attached in a paper bag and the typewritten annotation determined by Handel-Mazzetti.
