Chrysochlamys multiflora Poeppig , Nov. Gen. Sp. Pl. 3(1-2): 13, tab. 211. 1840.

Type :— PERU. Crescit in sylvis montanis, solo sicciore Peruviae orientalis versus praedium Cuchero, September 1829, E. F. Poeppig [1357] (lectotype designated here: W [no. W-0048907!]; isolectotypes: ( W [no. W-0048906!], BR [barcode BR0000005231812 ] photo!. Residual syntype: Illustration based on W-0048907 in Poeppig [1840: 211]). ( Fig. 3 ).

≡ Tovomitopsis multiflora (Poeppig) D’Arcy , in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 67(4): 1025. 1980 [1981], nom. illeg. not Tovomitopsis multiflora Standley (1929: 264) .

Notes:—Type material of Chrysochlamys multiflora have three specimens and one illustration with analysis (see Fig. 3B and Turland et al. 2018, art. 8.1, 9.4, 38.7, 38.8) which means that they are syntypes.According to Stafleu & Cowan (1976 –1988) Poeppig’s specimens obtained in his explorations in Peru usually were deposited at W. We found, in W, two sheets associated with E.F. Poeppig 1357 collection. W-0048907 specimen ( Fig. 3A ) is arranged on the sheet similarly to Poeppig’s illustration (see Fig. 3B ). Therefore, we designate this specimen as a lectotype.

Tovomitopsis multiflora (Poeppig) D’Arcy is a later homonym of Tovomitopsis multiflora Standley , the last, a name currently synonym under Chrysochlamys glauca (Oersted, Planchon & Triana) Hemsley (1879:87) (see Hammel 1999b).

Chrysochlamys myrcioides Planchon & Triana, Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. , sér. 4, 14: 260. 1860. Type:—[ COLOMBIA]. Nouvelle-Grenade. [Prov. de Mariquita or Prov. de Antioquia] Quindio, alt. 1000 mètres, s.d. [1851], J. Triana s.n.

[Triana 3274 (5433.10)] ( lectotype designated here: P [barcode P00093888 ] photo; isolectotypes: COL [barcode COL000118318 !],

K [barcode, K000488479] photo!, MPU [barcode MPU014291] photo!). ≡ Tovomitopsis myrcioides (Planchon & Triana) D’Arcy, Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 67(4): 1038. 1980 [1981].

Notes:—Although we found differences in collector numbering and locality information on herbarium specimens for C. myrcioides (COL, K, MPU and P) when we review London Catalog notes (see “Materials and methods” section, “Nomenclatural history of Andean Chrysochlamys species ” section, figure 1, and Reinales & Parra-O. 2022), we can confirm that numbering 5433.10 labeled by Triana in COL corresponds to numbering 3274 labeled by Triana in K. Moreover, we found that COL and MPU locality label note “Nouvelle Grenade prov. de Antioquia” coincides better with the locality “Antioquia (Quindio)” cited in London Catalog, whence all these specimens are the original set of C. myrcioides .

It is important to note that isolectotype housed at K (K000488479) is mixed on the same sheet. Although that both morphology and the locality on K000488478 “ Antioquia forêts du Quindio ” coincide with C. myrcioides type information, the numbering on the label does not correspond to either code A or code B, so is not possible associate it with C. myrcioides type material.
