Notes —In the preface of his “ Prodromus ”,A.P. de Candolle (1824) stated that all specimens from his personal herbarium were identified with the sign “ v. s. ” (i.e., vidit sicco) (Ferrer-Gallego & Laguna 2018). We believe that A.L.P.P. de Candolle (1844) followed the same idea, as the single gathering cited in the protologue of A. oblongum (Martin s.n.) was indicated as “ v. s. comm. a Mus. par. anno 1821 ”. Currently, the specimens from the de Candolle family collection are incorporated into the herbarium G, recognized by the acronym G-DC. Since only one of the two sheets of Martin s.n. from G possesses the G-DC label and the annotation “mus. de Paris 1821”, we consider this specimen as the holotype of A. oblongum (G barcode G00143976). Furthermore, Markgraf (1935a) indicated the gathering “Kuhlmann n. 22453” from the herbarium RB (Kuhlmann 491, RB No. 22453) in the prologue of A. kuhlmannii . Since this number corresponds to a voucher of a single sheet in RB (RB barcode 00535047), we understand that this specimen corresponds to the holotype of A. kuhlmannii .
