Notes about Tovomitopsis saldanhae

Tovomitopsis saldanhae was described by Engler (1888) based on specimens from the Serra dos Órgãos (Rio de Janeiro state) as " Habitat in Brasiliae provincia Rio de Janeiro, in Serra dos Orgâos ad Theresopolim: J. de Saldanha n. 6777, 6780, 6781, Glaziou n. 13576 in herb. Eichler ". His description and the illustration point to the use of both staminate and pistillate specimens. In the same contribution, Engler also described Clusia angustifolia Engl. based on Saldanha 7335, which was collected in the same locality of T. saldanhae . The specimen (pistillate) clearly matches with specimens of T. saldanhae , especially the oblanceolate leaves with dark dots below, four petals and two series of resiniferous staminodes with subapical antherodes. As the specimen of Clusia angustifolia deposited in B was destroyed during World War II in 1943, we select a duplicate at R as the lectotype.

Tovomitopsis saldanhae was later transferred to Chrysochlamys as C. saldanhae (Engl.) Oliveira-Filho, but Oliveira-Filho (2006) did not mention or indicate a type. Chrysochlamys saldanhae is now a synonym of T. saldanhae ( Marinho 2021). Among the T. saldanhae syntypes, we chose A. Glaziou 13576 (P01901232, Fig. 5 ), which is the best preserved specimen housed at P, as the lectotype.
