REMARKS

The protologue refers to three specimens at G. While the two sheets ex DC (the lectotype and lectoparatype – Deplanche 369bis) are straightforward, Deplanche 591 Vieillard? ex B-B is represented by two sheets, both with male flowers. The label of G00016980 states “ Deplanche 591 Vieillard, Pancheria obovata , s.loc., 1861-67”, and has a single fragment marked “a”. The second sheet (no bar code, “ Deplanche 591 Vieillard?, Pancheria , [...] Tiaré, 1861-67”) has two fragments (“b”) which are similar to one another but different from “a”. Pampanini’s label [“ P.elliptica sp. n. (n. 591 Vieillard?) b, M, Pampanini III 1904 ”] indicates that it is the second of these sheets which is a syntype, now a lectoparatype. Other sheets at G (ex DC, G00016981) and K have material and labels matching “a”.

At P, Vieillard 590,Tiaré,1861-1867 (P00602454), has one fragment with female flowers, which is probably part of the lectotype-gathering with the wrong label attached.
