Eperua schomburgkiana Bentham (1870: 226) View in CoL
Lectotype (designated by Cowan 1975 /designated here): — GUYANA. Essequibo & Rupununy, 1838, Rob. Schomburgk Ser. 1 517 (K[000555112] image!; isolectotypes BM[000065064] image!, G[00365223] image!, G[00365208] image!, K[000555113] image!, K[000555114] image!, P[00252893] image!, W not seen).
In spite of being collected for the first time in Brazil only in 1965 (collection number: Prance et al. 1652), Bentham (1870) described E. schomburgkiana in the Flora Brasiliensis. He described E. schomburgkiana in a comment on the species E. purpurea , providing a complete diagnosis and pointing that the plant was found in Guyana by Schomburgk. As there were two collections of E. schomburgkiana by Schomburgk, 517 and 317, Cowan (1975) selected the 517 at K as lectotype and cited the exsiccates at BM, G, K, P, and W as isolectotypes. However, Cowan (1975) did not specify which exsiccate refers to the lectotype and isolectotypes at K, which makes the present second-step lectotypification necessary.
