Ficus havanensis Rossberg (1935: 573)

Lectotype (designated here):— CUBA. Habana, Lomas de Comoa , limestone hill, ca. 23 km SO of Habana, 7 November 1921, E. L. Ekman 13456 (lectotype: S-R-2316!; isolectotype: B 100244651 !, S 07-9340 !).

Nomenclatural notes:— In the protologue is not stated the herbarium where the type of F. havanensis was deposited. Berg & Villavicencio (2004) were the first to consider the specimen Ekman 13456 (B) as the holotype; this could be considered a lectotypification but occurred after 2001 and the necessary statement “designated here” or a similar phrase was not used (see Turland et al. 2018, Art. 7.11). Here, we chose Ekman 13456 (S 2316) as the lectotype because it contains a branch, leaves, stipules, peduncles, and syconia.

Taxonomical notes:— Ficus havanensis is considered a synonym of F. crocata ( Berg & Simonis 2000, Berg & Villavicencio 2004, Berg 2009).
