Fry)”; additional specimens in NHMUK came from the following locations: one specimen from “Minas Geraes (durch OBERTHÜR)”, and two specimens from “ Brasilien ”. We recognized the specimen examined as holotype of Hiperantha decorata var. insignata Hoscheck in Hoscheck & Théry, 1928 since it matches the original description and the information on the label matches that cited for the “type” specimen.
