Lectotype (designated here):— [illustration] in Jacq., Fl. Austriac. 4: 2. 1776, tracing no. 682 ( Archive of the History of Science in the Natural History Museum Vienna).

Notes:— In his description of Boletus cinnabarinus, Jacquin (1776) confirmed that the name was based on a specimen collected by Francis Xavier Wulfen (1728–1805) in Carinthia, Austria, but did not reference a particular specimen or herbarium. Specimens are preferable to illustrations in the typification process as they permit more accurate and reliable identification of polymorphic taxa. However, we were unable to locate any material related to the name at the herbaria where Jacquin’s collection is deposited (W and WU), nor any material associated with accepted works ( Fries 1821). Nevertheless, Jacquin (1776) provided a plate (Plate 304) of the type specimens, which is located in the Department of Archives and History of Science of the Natural History Museum in Vienna ( Fig. 1A ), identified by him as Boletus cinnabarinus , and which we designate as a lectotype to stabilize the application of the name, in accordance with Articles 9.11, 9.12 and 9.13 of the ICN ( Turland et al. 2018).
