Triplaris euryphylla S.F. Blake (1919: 239–240)

Type (designated by Brandbyge 1986):— COLOMBIA. Bolívar Department, San Martín de Loba and vicinity, “Lands of Loba”, April or

May 1916 (fr), H. M. Curran 5 (lectotype: US [ US 589002, digital image!]; isolectotype: GH [ GH 36840 , digital image!]). Type:— COLOMBIA. Bolívar Department, San Martín de Loba and vicinity, “Lands of Loba”, April or May 1916 (fl), H. M. Curran 4

(isolectotype: US [ US 102470, digital image!], F).

Notes:— The protologue indicates that Curran 4 and Curran 5 are both from the same locality. Curran 5 is pistillate with some fruits, and Curran 4 is staminate. Brandbyge (1986) described Triplaris as strictly dioecious. Thus, Curran 4 and Curran 5 represent collections from different individuals at the same locality. Following ICBN (Art. 8.2), this makes Curran 4 an isolectotype, rather than a syntype.

Dugand (1952) identifies a number of modern collections, housed at COL, that correspond closely to the description of this species. Due to the fact that we have not been able to see them, we do not include them here.
