Gomphrena meyeniana Walpers (1843: 404) View in CoL

Walpers (1843: 404) provided a detailed diagnosis of Gomphrena meyeniana , also stating: “Peruvia: in planitie circa Tissalomam, Laguna de Titicaca. Fl. Aprili”. There is one sheet at B (code 100673185) bearing a label whose data match those included in the protologue. I designate here the specimen B-100673185 as the lectotype of the name Gomphrena meyeniana .

On the other hand, the protologue of the name Gomphrena meyeniana var. aureiflora Stuchlik (1913: 521) consists of a short diagnosis (“ Flores aurei, lutei v. flavescentes ”) and the indication of three specimens: “Argentina Lorentz 58! Et 567! Berl.); Peru (Meyen! Berl.)”. Pedersen (1990: 80) correctly selected a Meyen’s collection at B as the lectotype of Gomphrena meyeniana var. aureiflora . The latter name is a synonym of Gomphrena meyeniana .
