Larnax dilloniana S. Leiva, Quipuscoa & N. W. Sawyer (1998: 85)

Lectotype (designated here):— PERU. San Martín: Rioja, arriba del poblado Miraflores (ca. Nueva Cajamarca) , 1260–1420 m, 3 November 1996, S. Leiva, M. Dillon, I. Sánchez, V. Quipuscoa & P. Lezama 1919 ( CONN 00066074 !, isolectotypes: CONN 00066075 ! , CORD 00004043 ! , F 2183234 ! , HUT 031930 ! , MO 05097641 ! )

The selected lectotype has some buds, four flowers, one immature fruit and one mature fruit ( Fig. 13 A ), while no other specimen possesses fruits. The exserted stamens, mucronate anthers ( Fig. 13 B ), and wrinkled fruiting calyx ( Fig. 13 C ) are the diagnostic characters observable in this specimen; these features allow L. dilloniana to be distinguished from L. subtriflora (Ruiz López & Pavón) Miers (1849: 38) that grows in nearby areas.
