Lobelia glazioviana , Zahlbruckner 1896

Abstract

4. Lobelia glazioviana Zahlbruckner (1896: 69). Type:— BRAZIL. Rio de Janeiro, 1876, Glaziou 8148 (lectotype, designated here: W! [15784], isolectotypes: BR! [0000006955465], G! [00237840], K! [K000494311], P! [02870858], P! [02870859], P! [02870860], US! [483617]). = Lobelia zahlbruckneri Wimmer (1924: 387). Type:— BRAZIL. Rio de Janeiro, 1876, Glaziou 8148 (holotype: G! [00237840]). Notes: — In the protologue of Lobelia glazioviana, Zahlbruckner (1896) referred to the specimen Glaziou 8148, collected in Rio de Janeiro and with duplicates in several herbaria. Most duplicates of this collection have “ prope Rio de Janeiro ” as their locality, but the specimens [P02870858] and [P02870859] are from “ São Paulo, Campos da Bocaina”. This divergence in locality for the same set of specimens must be due to the fact that they all were collected in the Serra da Bocaina, a region covering both states mentioned in the labels. We indicate the specimen W15784 as a lectotype since it was collected in Rio de Janeiro, as described in the protologue, and W was the herbarium where the author carried out most of his research. Wimmer (1924) dedicated Lobelia zahlbruckneri to Austrian botanist Zahlbruckner, based only on the specimen Glaziou 8148 (Hb. Del.). The specimen is housed at G and stamped “Hb. Delessert” on its label. It is thus interpreted as the holotype of L. zahlbruckneri. The name is unfortunately based on a specimen of the type collection of a previously described species, and thus being taxonomically superfluous. Later, Wimmer (1953) noticed his mistake and proposed the synonymization of L. zahlbruckneri under L. glazioviana.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 50, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.539.1.5, http://zenodo.org/record/634592
