Typification and nomenclatural notes on twenty-seven names of Gomphrena L. (Amaranthaceae) linked to the South American flora Author Bena, Maria Julia text Phytotaxa 2017 2017-02-15 296 2 131 146 http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.296.2.3 journal article 10.11646/phytotaxa.296.2.3 1179-3163 13687970 Hebanthe holosericea Martius (1838: 65) The protologue of Hebanthe holosericea ( Martius 1838: 65 ) consisted of a short diagnosis (“241. Hebanthe holosericea . caule glabrescente, axillis barbatis, ramis sursum appresso-villosis, junioribus subochraecis”), and the indication of the habitat (“Crescit in praeruptis viarum, ad sylvas caeduas, locis calidis prope Sebastianopolin. Floret Sept. Dryas ”). There is any mention to a specimen in the protologue, but the description is numbered with the “241”, which corresponds to the Martii Herbarium Florae Brasiliensis , housed at M. Moquin-Tandon (1849: 386) transferred this species to Gomphrena and mentioned: “ Hebanthe holosericea Mart. ! herb. Bras. n. 241”. Actually there are two sheets marked with “ Martius 241” from the herbarium Martii (Florae Brasil ) housed at M (codes 0241739, and 0241740) and two further sheets at P (codes 00623734, and 00623736). The indication of “Typus: Brasilia (Martius) Herb. München” made by Holzhammer (1956: 219) can be considered as a lectotypification. Among the M specimens, one (code 0241739) bears a label in Holzhammer’s handwriting who reported “typus”. The M-0241739 is the lectotype of the name Hebanthe holosericea . The other above cited specimens are isolectotypes . Hebanthe holosericea Mart (1838: 65) ≡ Xeraea holosericea (Mart.) Kuntze (1891: 545) ≡ Pfaffia holosericea (Moq.)
