Solanum cristalense Amshoff var. macrospermum Hada ?, Folio Geobot.Phytotax. Prague 5: 431.1971

Type: Cuba. Oriente: montibus Montecristo , E. Hada? 1421 (holotype, P) .

Distribution. Only known from eastern Cuba and from Haiti, in pine woods from 700-2225 m elevation.

Representative specimen. Cuba, Santiago de Cuba, Herbario Flora de Cuba (HFC) 57223 (B).

The type collection of Solanum gundlachii (Wright 3030) is present in many herbaria, some of which have both flowers and fruit. The specimen at GH [GH00077553] has both flowers and mature fruits and is here selected as the lectotype. The sheet clearly represents two separate gatherings, as two labels bear different collection dates and appear to come from different localities (see Fig. 3b ).
