Remaining syntypes.

BRAZIL • [Nova Friburgo] Alto Macahé de Nova Friburgo; 2 Nov. 1890; fl.; A.F.M. Glaziou 18206; C [C10012349!, C10012350!], F [V0057920F!], G [G00367882!], MPU [MPU023339!], NY [NY00022935!], P [P00835776!, P0083775!, P0083776!], R [R000008764!] • [Nova Friburgo] Alto Macahé de Nova Friburgo; 2 Nov. 1890; fl.; A.F.M. Glaziou 19879; K [K000264429!], NY [NY00022936!]; P [P00835773!, P00835774!].

Notes.

Harms cited three of Glaziou’s gatherings in the original work on Sclerolobium beaurepairei (see ICN Art. 9.6, Ex. 6; Turland et al. 2018) without indication of the herbarium. There are a total of 20 samples of the cited specimens and one negative from B herbarium (F; Glaziou 20286; Grimé and Plowman 1987). Harms was a German botanist whose herbarium and type materials were stored at the B herbarium ( Stafleu and Cowan 1979). Hence, the specimens deposited at B were likely part of the materials used by Harms to describe the taxon and were probably destroyed during World War II ( Merril 1943). The samples available for lectotype designation are in accordance with the protologue, and some are well-conserved. The specimen deposited at P (P00577087) is in the best condition and is therefore designated as the lectotype (Fig. 2A, E ).

The material housed at R (R000008764) has an original handwritten label with reference to the specimen number “1826”, which is likely an error since Glaziou only has three records of Sclerolobium beaurepairei : Glaziou 18206, 19879, and 20286 ( Glaziou 1908), the same ones used for the species description (Fig. 2B, F ). This specimen is therefore Glaziou 18206 and was considered part of the original material. In addition, the specimen (RB00539701) with the same locality as the syntypes Glaziou 18206 and Glaziou 19879 was found in the RB herbarium without any reference to the record number, making it impossible to know which of the specimens it represents, so it was not considered part of the original material.
