Fernández, Martina, Martínez, Susana Graciela & Calviño, Carolina Isabel, 2020, Typifications of 31 names in Azorella (Azorelloideae, Apiaceae) from South America, Phytotaxa 433 (2), pp. 135-144 : 139

17. Azorella monantha Clos (1847 [1848]: 79).

Lectotype (designated here):— CHILE. Coquimbo, Gay 941 (P00115330!; isolectotype, G00359825!).

Protologue:—“Esta especie, algo afín de la A. cespitosa Hook. hijo, se halla en las Cordilleras”.

Notes:—The protologue of Azorella monantha does not indicate type nor locality. Among the original material found (Gay s.n. P00115331; Gay 941 P00115330, G00359825) we designated as the lectotype the one with most abundant material.

18. Azorella muscoides Philippi (1856: 695) ≡ Azorella madreporica var. muscoides (Philippi) Reiche (1899: 792) . Lectotype (designated here):— CHILE. Cordillera de Linares, Jan-1856, Germain s.n. (SGO000003658!; isolectotype S05-4064!). Protologue:—“In Andibus prov. Santiago et Linares invenitur”.

= Azorella madreporica Clos (1847 [1848]: 79).

Notes:— Philippi indicated to have seen material collected in two different provinces of Chile. We have found specimens from both places that match the protologue in morphology and are annotated by the author as Azorella muscoides . One of these specimens ( SGO000003659 ) shows mixed material from both localities, and it is impossible to discriminate to what locality each material corresponds. Another ( FR0036189 ) shows a label with uncertain collection years, 1856-1857, and therefore the gathering could postdate the description of the new species. The remaining material predate the publication date (Prov. Linares: SGO000003658, S05-4064; Prov. Santiago: HAL0026853 ). We designate SGO000003658 as the lectotype ; the duplicate has a well preserved small fragment.
