Notes.

When describing new species, Bunge usually annotated the specimens cited with “mihi” or “m.” behind the species name. Unfortunately, we did not find any annotation from Bunge on the different duplicates. P00198841 bears ten individuals and three different preprinted Lehmann’s collection labels, all corresponding to collection number 36. One of them is from Lehmann’s hand with the locality (in Latin) and the date indicated in the protologue. No date is indicated on the other duplicates. LE (photo seen at BM) bears a label with the locality translation in German. After an investigation by the curator, the LE specimen was not found.
