Calea pilosa Baker (1884: 257)

Prologue:—“In campis Brasiliae, J.E.B. Pohl 326 ”.

Lectotype (designated here):— BRAZIL. [Minas Gerais,] inter Pirapora x Jenipapo de Minas , 1819–1820, J. E. B. Pohl 3089 ( K [ K000323320 ]!; isolectotypes K [ K000323378 ]!; W [ W0043964 ], digital image!).

Note:—The material cited as type specimen in the protologue does not indicate the locality or collection year.According to Ossenbach (2018), J.E.B. Pohl was collecting in Brazil between 1818 and 1820. The available data points out that this specimen was collected in northern Minas Gerais or Bahia , in regions that were visited by Pohl by the end of his botanical expedition. Therefore, the specimen was likely collected between 1819 and 1820. According to the label information from W0043964, the specimen was collected in Minas Gerais, between Pirapora and Jenipapo de Minas.

Despite the indication in the protologue of the specimen Pohl 326 as the type of C. pilosa , in fact this specimen is the type of a Poaceae species: Vilfa adusta Trinius (1840: 80) (Boechat & Longhi-Wagner 1995). In the lectotype, as well as in the other isolectotypes, the number 326 probably refers to the numbering of the Vienna herbarium (W), from where K0043964 was collected according to notes on the specimen. In the label of W0043964, the number 3089 is written indicating that this is the correct collection number. The specimen K000323320 is the best-preserved specimen among the Calea pilosa syntypes and is here indicated as lectotype. Calea pilosa occurs in Bahia and Minas Gerais states, Brazil ( Fig. 2 ).
