Ξ Cienfuegosia heterophylla (Vent.) Garcke

Lectotypus (first step designated by Fryxell, 1969: 211; second step designated here): UNITED STATES. Virgin Islands: St. Thomas , Riedlé s.n. ( G [ G00353087 excl. fragm. packet]!; isolecto-: FI [ FI006089 ] image seen, P [ P02285953 , P02285954 , P02285955 ]!, P-JU n° 12403 [ P00671970 ]!).

Notes. – Fryxell (1969) cited the material in Ventenat’s herbarium as holotype. However, this specimen [ G00353087 ] is a mixed gathering and a second step lectotypification is necessary. A fragment packet contains original material obtained from the plant cultivated in Cels’s garden and from the Museum in Paris (“ Mus. Nat.”). On the same sheet is represented the material from St. Thomas collected by Riedlé. We designate the latter as the lectotype. Four more collections are all original material from Riedlé (or in Baudin herbarium as leg. Riedlé, see above) and considered as isolectotypes.

A specimen annotated in Ventenat’s hand “ Redoutea heterophylla Hort. Cels pl. XI“ and in D. F. K. v. Schlechtendal’s hand “Ventenat. W[illdenow]” (B-W n° 12834) is also available for the interpretation of this name.
