One if these collections, Däniker 1969 clearly represent two gatherings collected at different dates and localities and is here cited as two separate syntypes, making a total of five remaining syntypes. The designated lectotype [P02428359] has mature or nearly mature fruits, whereas the indicated isolectotypes at P are sterile [P00543864, P00543865].
