Maranta foliosa Körnicke (1862: 47)

Type (lectotype, designated here):— BRAZIL. Rio de Janeiro, March 1832, Riedel 871 ( LE01041379 ; isolectotypes: P02202414 , P02202415 , S no.09-21813). Remaining syntypes:— BRAZIL. no date, Sellow 198 ( BM000884612 , K000586889 , K000586889 , B [†]). BRAZIL. Serra d’Antigua, no date, Schott s.n. ( BM000884605 , W [†]). ( Fig. 11 )

Protologue citation:—“Brasilia: Leg. Sello (Herb. Berolin.); in umbrosis sylvis prov.

Rio Janeiro Martio flor. leg. Breideb. (Herb. Hort. Petrop.). in Serra d’Antigua leg. Schott (Herb. Vindob.).”

Notes:— Körnicke (1862) cited gatherings from Sellow ( B), Riedel (“ Breideb ” on protologue) ( LE), and Schott ( W). Three specimens of Sellow are at BM and K herbaria, but all are duplicates of the specimen destroyed, once placed at B herbarium. The same is true for the Schott collection, which was originally housed at W and posteriorly destroyed. Nonetheless, a duplicate remains at BM herbarium. The Riedel 871 gathering is at LE herbarium, and duplicates can be found at P and S. We designate here the specimen LE 01041379 (Riedel 871) as the lectotype since it is the only one still housed at the original herbarium cited in the protologue.
