Notes.

Duke (1961) stated that the specimen in the US was the “ HOLOTYPE. ” However, the specimens at P, GH, and at US were available to Asa Gray at the time of description and labeled by him as a new species. Thus, we treat Duke’s use of the term holotype as an error to be corrected to lectotype.
