79516233FFD0FFB7B6C46F5AFBCED329.taxon	description	The collection indicated as type of Schaefferia uruguayensis has different collector numbers in LP and MFVA. The material deposited in LP indicates Berro 3142, while four sheets in MFVA bear on their labels the designation of Berro 4142. However, all other data from the labels match up together, including the collection date and locality. It is most likely that the correct number of the collector should be 4142 (from Berro’s original collection) and someone may have made a mistake when dealing with the exsiccata deposited in LP. Since the handwriting (in black ink) for the label’s information (including both the numbers 3142 and 4142) is the same from Berro’s materials in LP and MFVA, it is possible that a misunderstanding occurred before the material had been sent to LP. However, the real reason for this supposed ambiguity has not been made clear yet. Since the specimen deposited in LP is the most representative and unique with Spegazzini’s verification on the label, it is elected here as the lectotype of S. uruguayensis. The holotype of Schaefferia diemonis was indicated as having been deposited in B (Herter 1940), but Celastraceae collections were considered destroyed during the Second World War (Hiepko 1987). Thus, the election of a lectotype is required. The isotype deposited in the US, that constitutes a representative material with fruits and has an indication of examination by Spegazzini on the label, is elected here as the lectotype. The isolectotypes deposited in BA and BAF were not seen, but are cited because both were indicated as types by Lourteig & O’Donell (1955).	en	Biral, Leonardo (2017): Typification of species names of Schaefferia (Celastraceae) from Argentina.
