Notes.

When Celsia longirostris var. hoggarica was published ( Maire 1940), the protologue listed nine collections, but no particular herbarium sheet was chosen as the holotype. We have traced eleven sheets (MPU004304, MPU004305, MPU004306, MPU004307, MPU004308, MPU059306, MPU059318, MPU059319, MPU059320, MPU059321, and MPU05932) preserved at Herb MPU that fit the protologue perfectly. The specimen MPU004308 appears to be the best preserved one and it shows more of the diagnostic features that are described in the protologue Therefore, it is the best candidate for typification and is chosen here as the lectotype for the name C. longirostris var. hoggarica according to Arts. 9.3 and 9.4 of the ICN ( Turland et al. 2018).
