Type (lectotype, designated here):— PERU. Iscutunam, 1787, Ruíz & Pavón s.n. ( MA 813799 [digital image!], isolectotypes BC873077 (2 sheets) [digital image!], MA813800 [digital image!], B destroyed, negative at F [F0BN016885] [digital image!], remanescent syntypes:— PERU. Without precise locality, Ruíz & Pavón s.n BM001008007 [digital image!], F0063760F [digital image!], MA813798 [digital image!], MA817505 [digital image!], MA817511 [digital image!], MA817519 [digital image!], MA813801 [digital image!]).

Notes: When Ruiz & Pavón (1798) described Miconia emarginata they did not cite any collection associated with this name. There are several extant specimens of Ruíz and Pavón, most without locality or date. However, these are presumably from different dates and gatherings given that they provide different flowering times and localities in the protologue. Four sheets (two at BC and two at MA) have the locality as Iscutunam, one of the localities mentioned in the protologue. The specimen MA813799 is designated here as the lectotype as it the most complete material and it fully agrees with the description. The other specimen at MA ( MA 813800) and the two sheets at BC are considered here isolectotypes. The remaining specimens for the reasons explained above are considered remanescent syntypes.
