Nomenclatural note. Bornmüller (1909) described the variation of indumentum in V. pectinata and described the two extremes as V. pectinata var. glabrescens and var. villosa based on his collections but only specimens of the latter are in Paris. Of the two collections, no. 5378 and no. 5379, stated by Bornmüller in the protologue, no. 5379 is chosen as lectotype, because the specimen in JE is the only one labelled var. villosa by Bornmüller. Bornmüller no. 5378 in B is labelled as “f. tomentosa ”.
