REMARKS

The synonymy with S. dunstervillei ( Nir 2000) is an error to be corrected because it is based on the label Duss 4193 (NY00059032) erroneously associated to the plant specimen ( Adams 1993; Maddi 2014; see remarks below).

The type of Hexadesmia dunstervillei (G.C.K.Dunsterville 336) was located at AMES (AMES00287200). A picture was joined to the protologue.Therefore, the original material( Turland et al. 2018: art. 9.4) comprises these two elements which are syntypes ( Turland et al. 2018: art. 9.6), so the specimen designated by Garay is a lectotype ( Turland et al. 2018: art.9.3), not a holotype.
