Lycianthes ferruginea Bitter var. firmior Bitter (1919: 340) View in CoL

Type (lectotype, designated here):— COSTA RICA. [San Jose]: Descente de la Ardilla près San Marcos, 900–1355 m, Mar 1893, Tonduz 7666 ( BR barcode 000000552844 [digital photo!], isolectotype BR barcode 000000552877 [digital photo!]; image of the lectotype is available at http://www.br.fgov.be/RESEARCH/COLLECTIONS/HERBARIUM/detail.php?ID=503627) .

Nomenclatural notes:— Bitter (1919) cited two gatherings in the protologue: Tonduz 7666 and Tonduz 7939, and he cited the herbaria housing the specimens that he examined. Bitter cited and annotated material of Tonduz 7666 at BR ( BR barcode 000000552844, BR barcode 000000552877). The only original material cited by Bitter of Tonduz 7939 was at B and has not been traced, and no F photo negative is available. One of the Tonduz 7666 specimens at BR ( BR barcode 000000552844) is selected here as the lectotype for the name Lycianthes ferruginea var. firmior .

Taxonomic notes:—This variety was described by Bitter based on Costa Rican material, and with further study it may be treated as a synonym of Lycianthes ferruginea .
