5. Ancistrum repens Vent., Descr. Pl. Nouv.: tab. 6. 1800.

Lectotypus (designated here): [PERU]: “individu de pleine terre”, Hort. Cels, Ventenat s.n. (G [G00341457]!).

= Acaena ovalifolia Ruiz & Pav.

Notes. – Two specimens are represented in Ventenat’s herbarium that clearly represent two gatherings from Cels’s garden. One collection is from the open ground (“individu de pleine terre”) and the other from the orangery (“individu d’Orangerie”) (G [G00341456]). We designate the first specimen as the lectotype as it better represents the species in the wild, despite the fact that the second specimen from the orangery was very likely the one to have been used for the plate. The specimen in the centre of the sheet n° 14214 in P-JU [P00667169] is from Cels’s garden but no information of its exact provenance is given. It may represent an isolectotype.
