Notes.

Pursuant to the Art. 9.17 ( Turland et al. 2018), the lectotypification of Benedí (2003) could be considered a first-step lectotypification, since he has cited wrongly the number of the lectotype and did not specify exactly which of the two sheets MPU005282 and MPU006805 kept at Herb. MPU as lectotype. In addition to these two sheets stored at Herb. MPU, we have traced another of this gathering kept at Herb. P (barcode P03425758). Hence, the sheet preserved at Herb. MPU that bears barcode “MPU006805” is here designated as the (second-step) lectotype.
