6. Lobelia hilaireana (Kanitz) Wimmer (1935: 106)

≡ Haynaldia hilaireana Kanitz (1878: 143) ≡ Dortmanna hilaireana (Kanitz) Kuntze (1891: 972) .

Type:— BRAZIL. Minas Gerais, 1816 to 1821, Saint-Hilaire c1-54 (lectotype, designated here: P! [00714442], isolectotypes: P! [00714443], P! [00714444]) .

Notes: — Kanitz (1878) referred in the protologue to a collection of Saint-Hillaire, without indication of the collection number. We found three duplicates from the collection c1-54 of Saint-Hillaire at P, with labels in Kanitz’s hand, suggesting that they were analyzed by him for the description of the species. The specimen number [P00714442] best fits the original description, and is the most complete among the three, containing a leaf at the base of the stem, leaf at the apex, bracts, and an inflorescence, and is thus designated here as the lectotype.
