03DF51551B2CFFDAFF42FF3ECFF383B6.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Cocculus platiphyllus, basionym of Chondrodendron platiphyllum, was published by Saint-Hilaire (1825) with a brief diagnosis and a direct reference to plate “ Aug. de S. Hil. Plant. us. Bras. nº. XLII ”, which was effective published later (see Saint-Hilaire, 1827). In the latter publication, a detailed morphological description is presented along with an illustration, comments on etymology, popular uses and the citation of type locality Minas Novas, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Two sterile specimens of the gathering Saint-Hilaire s. n. collected in Minas Novas are deposited at the herbarium P. The line drawing presented by Saint-Hilaire (1827, pl. 42, also our Fig. 1 A) undoubtedly represents the specimen Saint-Hilaire s. n. (P barcode P 00748524) (Fig. 1 B). The other specimen, Saint-Hilaire s. n. (P barcode P 00048605), is a chimera, being composed of the original sterile gathering of Saint-Hilaire s. n. mixed with a drupelet fragment, likely associated with the gathering of Richard s. n. (P), collected in the state of Rio de Janeiro, and which is one of the type of Cocculus platiphyllus var. ildefonsianus. This specimen bears also two identification tags with Saint-Hilaire’s handwriting identifying the specimen as “ Cocculus platiphylla var. α Aug. ”, and as “ Cocculus platiphylla var. ss ildefonsiana Aug. et Tul. ”. The latter has one anonymous annotation indicating that tag does not belong to the specimen (In French: “ Cette étiquette n´apparente pas a cet specimen ”, on the label). Based on this information, the specimen Saint-Hilaire s. n. (P barcode P 00748524) is designated here as lectotype (Fig. 1 B), the same specimen illustrated in Saint-Hilaire (1827). As stated above, these type specimens are sterile and have only a few young leaves with base cordate, an unusual characteristic in Chondrodendron platiphyllum. Therefore, we also designated here as epitype the specimen Feliz & Ferreira 85 (RB barcode 01179848), which is with developed leaves and many drupelets (Fig. 2).	en	Feliz, Pablo Fernando, Fernandes, Thiago, Braga, João Marcelo Alvarenga (2024): On the typification of Cocculus platiphyllus and synonymization of Cocculus platiphyllus var. ildefonsianus with Curarea crassa (Menispermaceae).

03DF51551B2FFFD8FF42FBEFCD068438.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Saint-Hilaire & Tulasne (1842) indicated that Cocculus platiphyllus var. ildefonsianus is common in Rio de Janeiro (In Latin: “ Propè Rio de Janeiro haud infrequens ”, on the label), and also cite “ Mart. Herbar. Flor. Bras. N. 282 ”, likely in reference to Martius 510 (see Martius, 1837, p. 282). The P herbarium has two specimens belonging to the gathering of A. Richard s. n., made by Achille Richard (1794 – 1852), who was probably accompanied by Ildefonso Gomes (1794 – 1859) in expeditions to the state of Rio de Janeiro. These specimens belonged to the historic Richard Herbarium, first created by Louis Claude Marie Richard (1754 – 1821), and which passed to his son Achille Richard (1794 – 1852), then to Albert Belhomme de Franqueville (1814 – 1891), and finally to Emmanuel Drake del Castillo (1855 – 1904). After Drake’s passing, these collections were acquired by the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle and incorporated into the P herbarium (see Andreata 1984). This long history of transfers and manipulations of these materials over time might explain the addition of different herbarium labels, including the reassembly of the samples and curators’ notes. A tag with original collector’s notes is attached to Richard s. n. (P barcode P 00748526), including the same medicinal information highlighted in the protologue (In Latin: “ Radix amara, tonica, diuretica, usitatissima ”). The other specimen, Richard s. n. (P barcode P 00748527), has two identification tags, one with the collector’s spelling citing “ Gomes ” (i. e., Ildefonso Gomes) and “ Cocculus ildefonsianus A. R. sp. nova ”, and another tag with Saint-Hilaire’s identification “ Cocculus platiphylla var. ss ildefonsiana ”. Saint-Hilaire & Tulasne (1842) characterized this variety by leaf blades widely ovate, base sub-cuneate or sub-truncate, and drupelets elliptical, tomentose. This gathering Richard s. n. (P) has basal to suprabasal acrodromous leaf venation, 5 – 7 primary veins, a plinerved inner pair, and secondary veins arising at one-third of the blade and bifurcating in a “ Y ” pattern. Although the drupelets are fragmented, the tomentose epicarp, thickened meoscarp and carpophore are quite distinctive, being sufficient to differentiate Curarea crassa from Chondrodendron platiphyllum, which has drupelets glabrous and carpophore absent (see also Feliz et al. 2022). Two gatherings cited in Martius (1837) are also associated with the protologue, but Saint-Hilaire & Tulasne (1842) claim they have not seen the flowers from any of these gatherings (in Latin: “ Flores utriusque inobservati ”). Two anonymous gatherings that Martius (1837) associated with Cocculus platyphyllus in the listing of his Martii Herbarium Florae Brasiliensis (see Martius, 1837; Förther 1994; hereafter HM) are also mentioned by Saint-Hilaire & Tulasne (1842) in the protologue of Cocculus platiphyllus var. ildefonsianus. The specimens associated with C. platyphyllus by Martius (1837) are HM 510, recognized later as part of the syntypes of Chondrodendron aemulum Miers (1867: 192), current synonym of Chondrodendron platyphyllum (“ in sylvis supra Serra do Mar ”, s. d, fl. ♂, Martii Herbar. Florae Brasil. nº 510 [BR barcode 000000529698 [image!], F [n. v.], K barcode K 000485680!, L barcode L 1750160 [image!], M barcode M- 0239801 [image!], M barcode M- 0239802 [image!], M barcode M- 0239803 [image!], MO accession 204172 [image!], NY [n. v.]). The other gathering, listed by Martius (1837) as Chondrodendron platyphyllum correspond to HM 1042, the label of which reads “ Habitat in sylvis ad Praes S. Joañ-Bapt. Provinciae MG ”, [current Presídio de São João Batista, municipality of Visconde do Rio Branco, state of Minas Gerais], [s. d., fl. ♂], Martii Herbar. Florae Brasil. nº 1042 [M barcode M- 0239804 (image!)]). Based on these observations, we propose the synonymization of Cocculus platiphyllus var. ildefonsianus with Curarea crassa, and also we designate the specimen A. Richard s. n. (P barcode P 00748527) as a as a lectotype, and the isolectotype as P 00748526 (Fig. 3).	en	Feliz, Pablo Fernando, Fernandes, Thiago, Braga, João Marcelo Alvarenga (2024): On the typification of Cocculus platiphyllus and synonymization of Cocculus platiphyllus var. ildefonsianus with Curarea crassa (Menispermaceae).
