21. Pancheria insignis Schltr.

Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik, Pflanzengeschichte und Pflanzengeographie 40 Beibl. 92: 25 (1908). — Type (as given in protologue): “Mont Mou, ca. 1200 m u. M, (Franc n. 192, bluhend im Januar 1906)”. — Lectotype (here designated): Mt Mou, 1200 m, I.1906, ♂ fl., Franc 192 ( B [image]! B100068766 ; isolecto-, K!).

REMARKS

Schlechter (1908) gave the type as Franc 192 but in several herbaria similar material labelled Franc 172 has been placed in type folders. A sheet of Franc 172 at P is labelled “ Pancheria insignis Schlechter ! sp. nov. Determ. par Dr Schlechter” and like 192, it came from the summit of Mt Mou (1200 m, I.1906, ♂ fl.) . A sheet of Franc 172 at G also gives the locality Mt Mou while a sheet at K (ex Herb. G. Bonati) has no locality. Although it is possible that the number on the label of the lectotype at B is a mistake, it is clearly written and was correctly cited by Schlechter, and therefore Franc 172 is not part of the type. Other collections of this species by Franc with the number 172, e.g., 172 serie A, 172 B serie A and 172A, at BM, K, G and P indicate the locality Prony .

Pancheria insignis is a synonym of P.hirsuta ( Guillaumin 1911b) .
