Triplaris lindeniana Wedd. (1849: 264–266, t.13)

Type (designated by Brandbyge 1986):— COLOMBIA. [La Guajira] in the vicinity of Riohacha [and Dibulla, 1842–1844] (fr), J. J. Linden 1648 (lectotype: P [ P 734713 , digital image!]; isolectotypes: F [ F V0067816 F, F V0067815 F, F V0067814 F, digital image!], G [ G 437677 , G 437678 , digital image!], GENT ( BR) [ GENT ( BR) 8723710], K [ K 585141 , K 585142 , digital image!], P [ P 5009243 , P 734714 , digital image!]) .

Notes:— The lectotype does not include the date of collection. There are two dates present on the isolectotypes: either 1842–1843 (e.g., P 5009243) or 1844 (e.g., P 734714). We have here given the collection date as a range between the dates present on all the isolectotypes.

The protologue gives the type locality as “Crescit in provincia Rio-Hacha Novo-Granatensium” (It grows in the province of Rio-Hacha, New Granada). The lectotype designated by Brandbyge (1986) reports “ Nlle Granade” ( New Granada). Presently, there is no province of Riohacha in Colombia, and we could not find the existence of an historic one. There is, however, a city of Riohacha in the Department of La Guajira. Information written on the specimens offers more details. In addition to “Rio Hacha” the location “Dibulla” is sometimes listed (e.g., on P 734714). Like Riohacha, Dibulla is a city in the department of La Guajira and the two cities are close. It seems likely the collection took place somewhere between the two cities. We list the type locality as in the vicinity of both cities.
