Larnax lutea S. Leiva (1996: 19)

Lectotype (designated here):— PERU. Cajamarca: Chota, a 1 Km. del poblado de Paraguay (ruta Querocoto-La Granja), 2250 m, 7 August 1994, S. Leiva, P. Chuna & J. Cadle 1385 (CORD 00004045! , isolectotype: F 2177616!) .

The specimen at CORD is designated here as lectotype. It has three complete flowers (Fig. 14 A) in contrast with the F material that is a poorer branch with some buds and one accrescent calyx. An unusual character for the genus is the presence of geniculate pedicels which is diagnostic in this species (Fig. 14 C). Unfortunately this character is not evident in the herbarium material.
