Type.

Note B.

In the protologue, the author referenced four collections collected by E. E. Maire: 1118, 1117, 1755, and 2099, all housed in the herbarium E. However, Smith did not designate a specific type, meaning all four collections are syntypes. A lectotypification is required (Turland et al. 2018). Upon examination of each specimen from the herbarium E, it was observed that E. E. Maire 1117 (barcode E 00285982) and 1755 (barcode E 00285984) lack flowers and fruits. E. E. Maire 2099 (barcode E 00285985) has fruits, but they are damaged by worms. As a result, E. E. Maire 1118 (barcode E 00011317), which is in good condition and has flowers, has been selected as the lectotype.
