Sclerolobium rugosum Mart. ex Benth. ( Bentham 1850: 237)

Type.

BRAZIL • Cujaba [ Cuiabá] et in prov. Minas Geraes; s.d.; fl.; A.L.P. Silva Manso s.n. (Mart. Herb. Fl. Bras. n°1155); lectotype (designated here): K [K000262571!]; isolectotypes: BR [BR000000591385!, BR000000591418!], G [G00367925!], M [M0215286!, M0215287!] .

Notes.

Bentham (1850) described Sclerolobium rugosum and attributed the authorship to Martius, even believing the name had not yet been described at the time. More than one specimen is mentioned in the original work of S. rugosum : one from Mato Grosso, Cuiabá and another from Minas Gerais, but as the record of Martius’ Herbarium Florae Brasiliensis is made by species, both samples were combined under the number Mart. Herb. Fl. Bras. 1155, and thus cited in the protologue and later treatments. The only mention of A.L.P. Silva Manso is not in the materials (except from H.C. Lima’s note on M0215286), but there is a citation by Bentham in Flora Brasiliensis ( Bentham 1870). As A.L.P. Silva Manso gatherings are from Mato Grosso, part of the specimens could be made by this collector ( Urban 1906). However, there is no collector information for the Minas Gerais records.

Seven syntypes were found (see ICN Art. 9.6; Turland et al. 2018) and a glass negative in F from M (M0215286) (Grimé and Plowman 1987). The specimen located at K (K000262571) is designated as the lectotype. It belonged to Bentham’s herbarium, agrees with the protologue, and is well-preserved (Fig. 4B, H ).
