Type:— “ Antilles - Porto-Rico”, A. Plée s.n. (lectotype: P01818725!, designated here; isolectotype: P01818724!; remaining syntype: Jamaique, 1845, W. Hooker s.n., P00481584!) .

Swartz (1788) described M. fasciculare (as ‘ fascicularis ’) based on his collection in Jamaica, without providing the number and date of collection, neither the herbarium where it was housed. Three specimens labelled “Swartz, Jamaica ” as handwritten by Swartz were located in S-R, SBT and LD. The specimen S-R-3460 was chosen as lectotype, because it is well in agreement with the protologue description of the species, and it has more abundant reproductive material. Despite a label by R.A. Howard found on the specimen indicating that this would be the lectotype of M. fasciculare , no published work was found containing the lectotypification, intentional or otherwise, of this name.

Naudin (1852) described Sagraea acutiflora based on the collections Plée s.n. and Hooker s.n. Three specimens of these collections were found in P herbarium. Although the two specimens of Plée s.n. are labelled with a description and illustration of the reproductive structures produced by Naudin, the specimen P01818725 was selected as lectotype because it also included a citation of the type locality, “Antillas-Porto-Rico”.
