12. Henriettea stellaris O.Berg ex Triana (1871: 145) View in CoL .

Type:— Brazil “ Prope Panuré ad rio Uaupés regione occidentali prov. Rio Negro ”, October 1852 - January 1853, R. Spruce 2606 (lectotype: K000537030!, first-step designated by Wurdack & Renner (1993), second-step designated here; isolectotypes: B† [photograph F17267!], BM001008257!, BR0000005188260!, BR0000005188598!, C10014577!, E00285792!, G-DC00328211!, GH00072307 !, K000537029!, LD1224690 !, NY00228622 !, P01818591!, P01818592!) .

Triana (1871) described H. stellaris based on the collection Spruce 2606, but without indicating the herbarium where it was deposited. Specimens of this collection are found at BM, BR, C, E, F, G, GH, LD, NY, and P.According to Wurdack & Renner (1993), the holotype is found at K, where there are two specimens from this collection. Both specimens also show the locality, collection, collector data, and collection number. In accordance with Art. 9.10 and 9.17 of the ICN ( Turland et al. 2018), the indication by Wurdack & Renner (1993) represents the first-step of lectotypification. Thus, we proceed to the second-step, indicating the specimen K000537030 as lectotype, because it exhibits more developed inflorescences and more abundant complete flowers, that are also better preserved.
