967787CB9B0CFFF2AC7DF9057EA9FD29.taxon	description	Operculina populifolia Hallier f., Symb. Antill. 7: 342. 1912. Lectotype (Staples et al., 2020: 131): CUBA, s. d., C. Wright 3083 (MO [MO- 150302, digital image!] [the duplicates of Wright 3083 are not isolecto as they have been mounted mixed with Operculina hamiltonii (G. Don) D. F. Austin & Staples in most of herbaria (GH, NY apud. Staples et al., 2020)]. Distribution: Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Chiapas Province in Mexico, in wet and mixed forest. Notes: Tropicos (http: // www. tropicos. org) states that the lectotype of Ipomoea discoidesperma was designated by Standley and Williams (1970). However, O’Donell (1941) had already inadvertently lectotypified the name since he cited as type only one of the two syntypes provided in the protologue of I. discoidesperma. There is a need for a second-step lectotypification, since there are two specimens for this collection at US herbarium, both of which were seen by O’Donell, as he cited in the examined material list (O’Donell, 1941). We select the specimen [US 00111388] as the lectotype, since it has more reproductive elements (flowers and fruits).	en	F. S., Petrongari, R., Simão-Bianchini, S., Rokni, I. D., Man, L.

Monroy de la Rosa 545 (holo FCME, n. v.; isot FCME, n. v.; MEXU, n. v.). Distribution: Mexico, narrow endemic from Estado of Guerrero in a tropical decidual forests. Notes: During the studies of collection in G herbarium, we were able to analyse the holotype of Operculina pavonii (1893), a taxon considered unplaced by Staples (2017) and recognize that it was the same taxon as Merremia macdonaldii (Valencia and Martínez, 1995). According to the principle of priority of the International Code of Nomenclature (Turland et al., 2018) the epithet “ pavonii ” must be used for this taxon, and here we are combining it to genus Distimake. Although the label on the holotype and Hallier’s work assigns its collection to Pavón, this collection is from the Sessé & Mocinõ Expedition to Nueva España and was part of the particular collection inherited by the Pavón family and sold by them to Edmond Bossier in the 19 th Century (Rodriguez-Nozal, 1994).	en	F.

967787CB9B0AFFF1AC7DF83D7E09F864.taxon	description	Ipomoea grandidentata C. H. Thomps., Trans. Acad. Sci. St. Louis 20: 18. 1911, syn. nov. Merremia grandidentata (C. H. Thomps.) Staples & Simões, Phytologia 97: 222. 2015. Type: UNITED STATES, Missouri, St. Louis, cultivated in Missouri Botanical Garden, plant 232 / 07 / 1 Oct. - Nov. 1908, C. H. Thompson s. n. (MO n. v.). Distribution: Widespread with a Pantropical distribution, first as ornamental, and later escaping and naturalizing in edge of forests; probably the natural range is in Mexico and in the Caribbean Islands (Austin, 1998). Notes: We are considering Ipomoea grandidentata as a new synonym of Distimake tuberosus. This species was described in 1911 based on a cultivated plant in the Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, received in late 1906, which seeds that came from Torreon-Mexico. It is described as a robust twiner, with stems more than 15 m long, tuberous roots, and a bright chrome-yellow corolla. Its anthers do not dehiscence spirally, and it has irregular, slightly palmatifid leaves. The latter two characters does not, but all the other characters overlap with D. tuberosus and we believe that the specimen cultivated in St. Louis belongs to D. tuberosus, albeit with abnormal growth. We are synonymizing this overlooked / unplaced name (Staples et al., 2015; Staples, 2017) here. Concerning the original material, Thompson (1911) states that specimens are deposited in herbarium MO, but we have not been able to find any online specimen matching Thompson’s description.	en	F.
