“ Aspidosperma francisii ” A.DC., orth. var.

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 gatherings cited in the protologues of A. discolor (Blanchet 3388) and A. francisci (Blanchet 2859) were indicated as “ v. s. flor. inap. ”. 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 five sheets of Blanchet 3388 from G has the G-DC label, we consider this specimen the holotype of A. discolor (G barcode G00143945). Also, only one of the four sheets of Blanchet 2859 has the G-DC label, being treated as the holotype of A. francisci (G barcode G00143876).
