Rogeria brasiliensis J. Gay ex DC.

(≡ Pterodiscus brasiliensis (J. Gay ex DC.) Asch.) was published by CANDOLLE (1845: 257)

based on a specimen [P00435303] labelled as from Brazil but originating from Angola; it was collected by Silva in Quipungo as the original slip reading “Martynia longiflora. Quipungo Novembr.” attests (Fig. 4).

Small slips with locality and date are attached to seven collections (see Appendix). By comparing the handwriting on the slips with Silva’s handwritten letter (SILVA, 1787), we believe that these slips were written by him.
