LECTOTYPIFICATION OF CYNORKIS ARNOTTIOIDES RCHB F. View in CoL

Pailler & Baider (2024: 164) considered that the Reichenbach herbarium lectotype of Cynorkis arnottioides Rchb f. (1855: 213) , which we now believe to be the same as Cynorkis paradoxa (Frapp. ex Cordem.) Schltr. (1915: 401) , with the former having nomenclatural priority, is misidentified. According to our drawings and measurements, the identity of the designated lectotype (Reichenbach: W Herb. Orchid Nr 0046815) is correct but recently discovered herbarium material of Cynorkis arnottioides has come to light which makes our lectotypification incorrect. This will be addressed in a forthcoming paper.
