Solanum maestrense Urb.
status

sp. nov.

Solanum maestrense Urb. View in CoL , Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. 21: 221. 1925

Type: Cuba. Oriente: Sierra Maestra , on the water divide between Rio Yara and Río Palmamocha , at the foot of Loma Joaquim , on the slope towards Rio Palmamocha , 19 Jul 1922, E. Ekman 14456 (lectotype, S [ S04-2941 ], designated here; isolectotype, S [S04- 2942]).

Distribution. Endemic to Cuba, known only from the type.

Representative specimen. Cuba, Oriente, Ekman 14456 (S).

It is clear from the protologue that Urban did not have at his disposal a specimen with a flower (“flores non vidi”, Urban, 1925), and that he was describing this species from material in B that is no longer extant. The two rather scrappy sheets at S are both annotated “type”, but only one (S04-2941) has reproductive parts (one flower and two fruits in the packet). This sheet ( Fig. 3c View Fig ) is chosen here as the lectotype.
