Notes.

The specimens deposited in P with the label “ Herbier Humboldt & Bonpland ” come from Bonpland’s private collection. According to Stauffer et al. (2012), these are to be considered holotypes. In the case of Drymaria ovata , there are two specimens at P representing original material. The one with the barcode “ P 00274219 ” bears the label “ Herbier Humboldt & Bonpland ” and represents the holotype.

For the same reason as with Drymaria arenarioides , authorship of Drymaria ovata should be attributed to Willdenow (see Turland et al. (2018), art. 46.3 example 15).
