Note:— In the protologue, Handel-Mazzetti (1933) cited three gathering (Handel-Mazzetti 8992, Handel-Mazzetti 8287 and Forreest 7383)” and selected “ Handel-Mazzetti 8992 ” as the type, without indicating the herbarium where the specimen was deposited. We located 5 duplicate specimens, which have been deposited in A (barcode A00040568), E (barcode E00010585), M (barcode M0214184) and WU (barcode 0059386 & 0059387). All these collections should be regarded as syntypes (Arts. 9.6, and 40 Note 1 of ICN) , and the name R.doyonensis needs lectotypification (Art. 9.12 of ICN). According to Stafleu and Cowan (1979), Handel-Mazzetti’ original type material was deposited in W and WU. Hence, the specimen of “ Handel-Mazzetti 8992 ” in WU (barcode 0059387) is a perfect match to the description given in the protologue, thus, this blooming specimen selected here as the lectotype .
