Raz, Lauren, 2016, Untangling the West Indian Dioscoreaceae: New combinations, lectotypification and synonymy, Phytotaxa 258 (1), pp. 26-48 : 43

5a. Dioscorea tamoidea subsp. lindenii (R.Knuth) Raz , stat. nov. Dioscorea tamoidea . var. lindenii Uline ex Knuth (1917: 209) . Type:— CUBA. Santiago de Cuba: Pinal de Nimanima, Aug. 1844, Linden 2077 ♂ (holotype B n.v., isotypes BM!, G! (3 sheets: G00098812, G00098813, G0098814), K!)

Notes: Cuba and Haiti. Knuth (1924) cited Linden 2077 as the type, but did not explicitly name the source herbarium. I have not seen the B sheet, but evidence for its existence comes from the K sheet, which bears a hand written note stating that the locality information was taken from the sheet at the Herb. Berol. Since none of the isotypes were annotated by Knuth, the B sheet is here interpreted as the holotype. G00098812 was annotated by Uline, and in the event that the B sheet cannot be found, it would become the lectotype.
