Acalypha contermina Müll.Arg. View in CoL

Linnaea 34 (1): 46 ( Müller Argoviensis 1865).

We only know the type collection of this species (Herb. Pavón s.n.; G-DC[G00324653] and G[G00383632]). The labels of these specimens indicate as origin “In Peruvia” as also appears in the protologue, but probably they do not come from Peru but from Mexico ( Cardiel et al. 2013b). This plant seems morphologically very close to some Mexican species, still little known.
