Type.

Ecuador. [Tungurahua]: Crescit prope Hambato, alt. 1380 hex. [alt. 564 m] [ Regno Quitensi], [1802], A. von Humboldt & A. J. A. Bonpland s. n. (lectotype, designated here: P [P 00335861!]; isolectotype P [P 00335860!]) .

Distribution.

Ecuador.

Notes.

The specimens deposited in P with the label “ Herbier Humboldt & Bonpland ” come from Bonpland’s private collection. According to Stauffer et al. (2012), these are to be considered the holotypes. In the case of Drymaria stellarioides, there are two specimens at P representing original material. However, neither has the label “ Herbier Humboldt & Bonpland. ” Therefore, we designate the one with the barcode “ P 00335861 ” as the lectotype because it is the better specimen and the only one with a flower.

Most of the type specimen deposited at B were destroyed in World War II (Hiepko 1987). Because the holotype at B was probably destroyed, here we designate one of the specimens of P as the lectotype.

For the same reason as with Drymaria arenarioides, authorship of Drymaria stellarioides should be attributed to Willdenow (see Turland et al. (2018), art. 46.3 example 15).

At F, there is a photo and a fragment probably from the holotype ([980359/0053308 F!]). This species is listed as Near Threatened (NT) (León-Yáñez et al. 2011).
