Triplaris punctata Standl. (1936: 468) View in CoL

Type (designated by Brandbyge 1986):— BRAZIL. [Acre, Sena Madureira] near mouth of Rio Macauã, a tributary of the Rio Iaco [Lat. -9.187256 Long. -68.717976] 4 August 1933 (fr), B. A. Krukoff 5277 (lectotype: F [ F V0067817 F, digital image!]; isolectotypes: A [ A 36849 , digital image!], BM [ BM 993267 , digital image!], F [ F V0067818 F, digital image!], G [ G 437662 , digital image!], LP [ LP 5466 , digital image!], M, MICH [ MICH 1111768 About MICH , digital image!], MO [ MO 2073328 ], NY [ NY 324244 , digital image!], S [ S R-6241, S 05-6947 , digital image!], U [ U 5716 ], UC, US [ US 102485, digital image!]) .

Remaining Syntypes:— BRAZIL. Acre, near mouth of Rio Macauã where it drains into the Rio Iaco, Lat. -9.187256 Long. -68.717976, 8 August 2019 (fl), B. A. Krukoff 5333 ( M, MO [ MO 2073330], NY [ NY 868552, digital image!], S [ S R-6242, digital image!], UC, US [ US 1339298, digital image!]).

— PERU. Loreto Department, Balsapuerto, 220 meters, April 1933 (fl), Klug 3009 ( MO [ MO 2073329], US [ US 3223990, digital image!]).

Notes:— The specimens Klug 3009, Krukoff 5277, and Krukoff 5333 listed in the protologue are syntypes (Art. 96 of ICBN). Brandbyge (1986) designated Krukoff 5277 as the lectotype and Krukoff 5333 as a paratype. However, Krukoff 5333 is not a paratype (see Art. 9.7 of ICBN) but just a syntype.

The protologue reports the locality for Krukoff 5277 and Krukoff 5333 as “Near mouth of Rio Macauhan, a tributary of the Rio Yaco.” We interpret this as an older orthography of the present-day Rio Iaco. It also seems that Rio Macauhan is an older orthography of Rio Macauã. The Rio Macauã flows into the Rio Iaco just west of Sena Madureira in Acre, with GPS coordinates of: -9.187256, -68.717976. This fits roughly with the coordinates written on the lectotype Krukoff 5277: “ 9º20'S, 69ºW” (- 9.3333333 N, - 69.0000000 W). Thus, it seems reasonable to consider the names given in the protologue as older names for the present-day rivers of Rio Macauã and Rio Iaco.
