Triplaris moyobambensis Brandbyge (1984: 763–764)

Type:— PERU. San Martín Department. Zepelacio, near Moyobamba , 1100 meters, May 1934 (fr), Klug 3656 (holotype: A [ A 36848 , digital image!]; isotypes: CAS [ CAS 4741 , digital image!], F [ F V0041898 F, digital image!], GH, MO [ MO 216233 , digital image!], NY [ NY 658962 , digital image!], S [ S 07-13421 , digital image!], US [ US 5253, digital image!]) .

Notes:— The type locality was given as “Zepelacio near Moyobamba”. There is a city called “Jepelacio” located seven miles southeast of Moyobamba. The spelling may be an orthographic variant or a misspelling by the collector. Since we are not certain about this, we leave the type locality spelling as given in the protologue.

In the protologue, Brandbyge (1984) indicated the holotype as a specimen preserved at A (isotypes at F, GH, MO, S, and US). Two years later, the same author ( Brandbyge 1986) cited, however, the holotype at GH (and one isotype at US). This seems to be an error in Brandbyge (1986). Furthermore, we were unable to locate the GH specimen cited by Brandbyge (1986). The CAS specimen possesses a Gray Herbarium stamp, which has been stamped over as cancelled. It is possible that the CAS specimen is the GH specimen cited as an isotype by Brandbyge (1984) and erroneously as holotype by Brandbyge (1986).
