Lobelia hilaireana Wimmer 1935

Abstract

6. Lobelia hilaireana (Kanitz) Wimmer (1935: 106) ≡ Haynaldia hilaireana Kanitz (1878: 143) ≡ Dortmanna hilaireana (Kanitz) Kuntze (1891: 972). Type:— BRAZIL. Minas Gerais, 1816 to 1821, Saint-Hilaire c1-54 (lectotype, designated here: P! [00714442], isolectotypes: P! [00714443], P! [00714444]). Notes: — Kanitz (1878) referred in the protologue to a collection of Saint-Hillaire, without indication of the collection number. We found three duplicates from the collection c1-54 of Saint-Hillaire at P, with labels in Kanitz’s hand, suggesting that they were analyzed by him for the description of the species. The specimen number [P00714442] best fits the original description, and is the most complete among the three, containing a leaf at the base of the stem, leaf at the apex, bracts, and an inflorescence, and is thus designated here as the lectotype.Published as part of Rollim, Isis De Mello, Coelho, Guilherme Peres, Miotto, Silvia Teresinha Sfoggia, Iganci, João Ricardo Vieira & Oliveira, Marcelo Trovó Lopes De, 2022, Nomenclatural and taxonomic survey of the South American clade of Lobelia section Rhynchopetalum (Campanulaceae), pp. 45-54 in Phytotaxa 539 (1) on page 51, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.539.1.5, http://zenodo.org/record/634592
