[673] Sextonia rubra (Mez) van der Werff

Novon 7 (4): 438 [“1997” publ. 1998] (van der Werff 1998). — Ocotea rubra Mez, Jahrb. Königl. Bot. Gart. Berlin 5: 258 ( Mez 1889). — Nectandra rubra (Mez) C.K.Allen, Mem. New York Bot. Gard. 10 (5): 120 (Allen 1964).

NOTE. — Several Mélinon specimens of Sextonia rubra that are labelled isotypes at P are dated 1862 ( P00711138 , P00711139 ), 1864 ( P00711130 , P00711134 , P00711135 , P00711136 ) or 1865 ( P00711137 ), therefore are probably not from the same gathering as the specimen labelled as holotype ( P00711131 ), which is dated 1863. But the fact that one of them ( P00711137 ) bears the same label in Mez's hand as the “ holotype ” implies that the original material is composed of at least two distinct gatherings (from 1863 and 1865, respectively), making it necessary to designate a lectotype.
