5. Commelina pohliana Seubert (1855: 265 View in CoL , tab. 36[II])

Lectotype (designated here): —[illustration] tab. 36(II) in Seubert (1855).

= Commelina erecta Linnaeus (1753: 41) View in CoL View Cited Treatment

Lectotype (designated by Clarke 1881: 181):—[illustration] tab. 77 in Dillen (1732).

Notes: —The protologue of C. pohliana provides the following information about the type: “ Crescit prope Ponzo Allegre prov. Minarum Geraës: Pohl in Herb. Caes. Vindob. n. 891 ”. No extant specimens that could be considered original material for this name could be located at W (Armin Löckher, pers. comm.), nor at any other herbaria consulted. Therefore, the only extant material for typification is the illustration (tab. 36[II]) provided in Seubert (1855), which I designate here as lectotype of the name C. pohliana .

Commelina pohliana View in CoL has been accepted as a synonym of C. erecta View in CoL in Clarke (1881), Barreto (1997) and Zuloaga et al. (2008), to which I agree.
