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.
