Nomenclatural notes:— Hassler (1919) described this taxon based on two collections (Hassler 6096 and Hassler 12311) rendering them syntypes and without explicitly stating where this material was deposited. Carauta (1989) designated Hassler 12311 in G as the lectotype. There are two sheets of Hassler 12311 in G, each of them bearing its own label and they are not cross-labeled (Art. 8.3), indicating that these sheets should be treated as duplicates rather than a single specimen. We designate G00307292 as the second-step lectotype because it represents the most complete and diagnostic specimen.
