Triplaris melaenodendron (Bertol.) Standl. & Steyerm. (1943: 5) View in CoL ≡ Vellasquezia melaenodendron Bertol. (1840: 440,
t.47 [sphalm pro 46])
Type (of Vellasquezia melaenodendron , designated here): —Florula Guatimalensis. t.46. 1840. (lectotype: t.46, https://www. biodiversitylibrary.org/page/6915489#page/568/).
Type (of Vellasquezia melaenodendron , designated here):— GUATEMALA. Esquintla Department, near the city of Esquintla, elevation 135–300m, 31 January 1939 (fr), Standley 63952 (epitype: F [ F 67822 View Materials F, digital image!]).
Notes:— The name Vellasquezia melaenodendron , being the only one listed under the new genus Vellasquezia Bertol. (in Bertoloni 1840: 440), is the generic type. Bertoloni’s protologue does not cite a specimen, only the locality “Esquintla”. A drawing (available at: https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/6915489#page/568/) is provided depicting two mature leaves and three flowers. We could not locate a specimen collected either by a Velásquez or Bertoloni that would fit the locality and description at any major herbarium.
Brandbyge incorrectly designated a neotype for Triplaris melaenodendron . A neotype is only selected when no original material exists (Art. 9.8 of ICBN). Original material as defined in Art. 9.4(b) ( ICBN) does exist ; it is the misnumbered plate with two leaves and three flowers. We designate that as the lectotype here.
Given that Brandbyge (1986) has associated Standley 63952 with Triplaris melaenodendron , and in order to avoid confusion, we here also designate Standley 63952 as an epitype (Art. 9.9 of ICBN).
