03B6D767AB392668C2F5FF55FD8DFE3A.taxon	discussion	Remarks This is one of the two taxa of Drymaria that grows outside the Americas. Probably Drymaria cordata was taken off the American continent through the Acapulco-Manila galleon trade route which was active from 1565 to 1815, that is, beginning two centuries before Commerson’s travel. The other taxa is D. villosa Cham. & Schltdl., occuring in Malaysia and probably introduced around the first half of the 20 th century from America (see Duke 1961: 177). Because Drymaria was validly published by Willdenow in Roemer & Schultes in 1819, many species were confused with other genera before this date, specially with Stellaria (or Alsine) because of the shape of petals. The main differences between the two genera appear in Table 1.	en	Volponi, Carola Regina (2006): Type and new combination for Stellaria lanceolata and a new synonymy for S. rotundifolia (Caryophyllaceae).

03B6D767AB392668C2F5FF55FD8DFE3A.taxon	description	SPECIMEN C Specimen C has been assigned to two localities: “ isle de Bourbon ” and “ de magellan ” (Figs 4; 5 C). The “ isle de Bourbon ” is E of Madagascar, approximately 21 ° S, 55 ° E (Fig. 1). The Strait of Magellan lies at the S of South America, between 52 - 54 ° S and 68 - 72 ° W. These localities are about 22 700 km distant from each other (Punta Arenas-Papeete, 7700 km; Papeete-Saint-Denis, 15 000 km, Fig. 1). Commerson arrived at the Strait of Magellan on 5 December 1767. Three years later he was at the “ isle de Bourbon ”, 4 December 1770 (Fig. 1) (Monnier et al. 1993: 47). Undoubtedly this plant belongs to Stellaria (Table 1). At first, this specimen was determined as Stellaria arvalis Fenzl ex F. Phil. emend. Pedersen, the species that grows in the Strait of Magellan (cf. Volponi 1986 a, b). Later, by considering the other locality (“ Isle de Bourbon ”) and comparing with Flore de Madagascar et des Comores (Perrier de la Bâthie 1950: 7, fig. I, 11 - 12), the inflorescence, the shape and size of sepals, petals and seeds together with herbarium specimens in P (see Appendix), it was concluded that the plant of Figure 4 is Stellaria mannii Hook. f. The habit of both species is very similar.	en	Volponi, Carola Regina (2006): Type and new combination for Stellaria lanceolata and a new synonymy for S. rotundifolia (Caryophyllaceae).

03B6D767AB37266BC0A5FD99FF53FE3A.taxon	description	(Figs 4; 5 C; 6 I-L) Journal of the Linnean Society VII: 183 (1864). — Type: Cammeroon mountains, 2100 m, XII. 1862, G. Mann 1940 (holo-, K not seen, photo at LP!). Remarks Stellaria is a cosmopolitan genus widespread in moderate climates and at low and high altitudes. Stellaria mannii grows near streams, in wet forest understory, in tropical and subtropical Africa, Madagascar, Sao Tomé, Bioko, Comores and Mascarene Islands (Fig. 1, oblique lines). In a loan from P to LP of S. mannii, there was one specimen of this species collected by Commerson, with handwriting on the label probably also by Commerson (Monnier et al. 1993: 16): France, Commerson P 215108, “ Isle de Bourbon, Des Hauts de Bourbon, Dans les Bois, Aoust- 1771 ”. The date of collection of this specimen, August 1771, indicates that the expedition was at that time in “ Isle de Bourbon ”. Monnier et al. (1993) said that they returned to “ Isle de France ” on February 1771. There is a difference of seven months between these dates. OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE LABELS AND HANDWRITING The handwriting of “ de magellan, Comon, les 2 plantes ” in specimen A and “ de magellan ” in specimen B (Figs 2; 3; 5 A, B) is similar to that of “ Isle de Bourbon Con ” and “ de magellan Comon ” in specimen C (Figs 4; 5 C). This handwriting probably belongs to Lamarck (cf. Burdet 1976: 151; Monnier et al. 1993: 28) and was done after Commerson’s death. The handwriting of “ N. 101, Type. vidr. Stellaria rotundifolia ” in specimen A (Figs 2; 5 A) is different from the above mentioned, but similar to the handwriting of: “ Commerson cum No. 101 ” in specimen B (Figs 3; 5 B). Besides, “ les 2 plantes ” mentioned in B are specimens A and B, having both the same number, 101; although in A it says “ vidr. Stellaria rotundifolia ”. Conclusion Probably specimen B (Drymaria cordata) was collected from Tahiti to Sumatra and Java Islands, in the middle part of Commerson’s travel, while specimens A (Cerastium lanceolatum) and C (Stellaria mannii) were collected during the last part of Commerson’s travel, instead of at “ de magellan ”, all of which is confirmed by the specimens determinavit. ABOUT OTHER PLANT NAMED STELLARIA ROTUNDIFOLIA Hariot (1900) in his Liste des phanérogames listed four Caryophyllaceae collected by Willems et Rousson in “ Terre de Feu ”. Those species are: Colobanthus quitensis (Kunth) Bartl. (P), Cerastium arvense L. (P 00199398), C. arvense var. strictum Hook. f. (P 00199400) and Stellaria rotundifolia Poir. (P 00199401). This last specimen was labelled by David Moore with the name? Stellaria media (L.) Vill. in October 1974. However, this fourth specimen does not belong to Caryophyllaceae. This last specimen (P 00199401) has four plants, with three verticillate leaves each, without roots and flowers. Leaves are more or less membranaceous, with reticulate venation; a small papery bract (cataphyll?) is near the base of shaft. One of those plants has a small bud. Comparing the plants with descriptions and drawings in Flora Patagónica (Correa 1969: 190, fig. 168) it was possible to arrive to Codonorchis a monotypic genus of Orchidaceae (C. lessonii (Brongn.) Lindl.). Afterwards, the specimen was also compared with the type specimen of Epipactis lessoni, d’Urville 410, I. Soledad, type P 00328371 (P, not seen; LP!) and directly with herbarium specimens of that species at LP. Many specimens have their leaves very well preserved as the one collected by Willems et Rousson (e. g., Argentina M. Gentili s. n. (LP), Prov. Neuquén, Parque Nacional Lanín, Pucará, 12. XII. 1970). The leaves well preserved in all these specimens are very similar. Conclusion This specimen does not belong to Caryophyllaceae. Probably it is an Orchidaceae, but it has no flowers.	en	Volponi, Carola Regina (2006): Type and new combination for Stellaria lanceolata and a new synonymy for S. rotundifolia (Caryophyllaceae).
