7. Tachigali paratyensis (Vell.) H.C.Lima (Lima 1995: 128)

Cassia paratyensis Vell. ( Vellozo 1825 [1829]: 168)

Type.

BRAZIL - Vellozo’s original parchment plate of Flora Fluminensis in the Manuscript Section of the Biblioteca Nacional do Rio de Janeiro; lectotype (designated here): cat. no.: mss1198653_068; later published in Flora Fluminensis Icones vol. 4: t. 70 ( Vellozo 1827 [1831]) .

Notes.

Unlike the other species mentioned, Tachigali paratyensis has Cassia paratyensis Vell. as its basionym, validly published in 1829 in Flora Fluminensis ( Carauta 1973; Lima 1995). Lima (1995) transferred the name to Tachigali paratyensis and cited Vellozo’s published illustration, indicating it as the type. This cannot be considered a valid lectotypification because the published illustration is posterior to the publication of the protologue and, according to the ICN Art. 9.4 ( Turland et al. 2018), the original material comprises those specimens and illustrations unpublished and published prior to, or at the time of, publication of the protologue (Fig. 3G ). Considering this, the original illustration of C. paratyensis is here designated as the lectotype.
