40. Pombalia verticillata (Ortega) Paula-Souza View in CoL , comb. nov. ≡ Viola verticillata Ortega (1797: 50) . 1797.—Type (protologue): [CULTIVATED]. “Nova Hispanià, in Horto Reg. Matrit. è seminibus missis per D. Sessé” (lectotype C!, designated here by Paula-Souza).

According to Stafleu & Cowan (1981), Ortega’s types are deposited at MA; however, personal searches in that herbarium failed to locate any specimen that could serve as type. The original specimen of V. verticillata found at C, which was a gift from Ortega to the Danish botanist Martin Vahl in a visit to him (Dr. Ib Friis, pers. comm.), is here selected as lectotype .
