Siphocampylus orbignianus DC. (1838: 405) .

Lectotype (designated here):— In Bolivia (d’Orbigny!) […] (v. in h. mus. Par.) [d’Orbigny 469] ( P 00152271 !).

Notes: —Material collected by D’Orbigny was cited in the protologue of S. orbignianus without specifying a collection number. Later, Wimmer (1953) mentioned two specimens deposited in the Paris Herbarium (‘ D’Orbigny 469!, 414 - Hb. Paris’). Of these, we found and selected the specimen D’Orbigny 469 (P 00152271) as lectotype of the species since it fully agrees with the protologue and it is a well-preserved and complete specimen.

Considering the surname of the person on which this name was dedicated, his correct latinization, and the incorrect writing by later authors, we clarify here that the exact spelling according to the author of the species in the original publication is “orbignianus ” with “i”, not with “y”.
