13. Azorella lycopodioides Gaudichaud (1825: 105) .

Lectotype (designated here):— ARGENTINA. Islas Malvinas, Gaudichaud-Beaupré, Lesson & Dumont d’Urville s.n. (P00115325!). Protologue:—No indication of locality or date of collection.

Notes:— Gaudichaud published the “Rapport sur la Flore des Iles Malouines ” on May 16 th 1825, based on his own collections. We found several specimens that agree with the protologue in morphology and show labels indicating “Ils Malovines” and Gaudichaud as the collector: BM001008500, K000529596, P00115325, P00115326, P00115327, P00834943. From these P00115326 shows a collection date (November of 1825) that postdates the publication date ; K000529596 shows a collection date (April 1825) too close to the publication, and the remaining specimens do not show any collection date on their labels. We designate P00115325 as the lectotype; the specimen is housed at P, herbarium where Gaudichaud worked, displays the original figure published in the protologue, and has abundant material. Because of the uncertainty of the date of collection among the specimens, we do not consider any of them as duplicates of the lectotype.
