Type material.

Austral Islands: Rapa Nui, Maungaaeae, 19 Oct. 1921, A. M. Stokes 352 (holotype BISH [ BISH 1004877!]). Note: The specimen has been annotated as the isotype (by T. G. Hartley on March 10, 1989, by K. Kami in June 1997) and Hartley (2001) mentioned another specimen at BISH as the holotype, which he had not seen. Another specimen could not be located at BISH (pers. comm. Timothy Gallaher, 18 March 2024), so that BISH 1004877 has to be the holotype. The confusion about a second specimen could be because of the remark “ 1 st sheet; 2 nd sheet is no. 370 ” on the specimen. This second sheet ( BISH 1273707!) has been collected by J. F. G. Stokes during the same journey on 26 October 1921 and is not mentioned in the protologue.
