Notes — Markgraf (1924) indicated the gathering Ule 8453 as “Original” for A. ulei between the two collections presented in the protologue but did not cite in which herbarium the type would be deposited. Woodson (1951) suggested in his notes the collection Ule 8451 (not mentioned in the protologue) as a possible new type collection for A. ulei since he believed that the original gatherings were lost in the destruction of the herbarium B. However, since we located several sheets of the gathering Ule 8453, we chose a specimen from a Brazilian herbarium belonging to this gathering as the lectotype of A. ulei (MG barcode MG013524) (ICN article 9.3; Turland et al. 2018).
