Treatment

1.3. Pityrocarpa leptostachya (Benth.) L.P. Queiroz & P.G. Ribeiro comb. nov.

Monoschisma leptostachyum (Benth.) Brenan, Kew Bull. 10(2): 179. 1955.

Pseudopiptadenia leptostachya (Benth.) Rauschert, Taxon 31(3): 559. 1982.

Basionym.

Piptadenia leptostachya Benth., J. Bot. (Hooker) 4: 339. 1842.

Type.

Brasil, Sellow s.n. (Lectotype K 000504709, designated here; isolectoypes F 0360957F [fragment], K 000504710, TUB 009699) .

Note.

Lewis and Lima (1991) unintentionally lectotypified this name by indicating the holotype to be at B and the isotype to be at K. However, the B specimen was destroyed and, hence, cannot serve as a lectotype. Moreover, K holds two duplicates of an un-numbered Sellow collection. Here, we chose the one previously belonging to Bentham’s herbarium as the lectotype.
