Nomenclatural revision of Ficus sect. Americanae (Moraceae): typification of Ficus americana and allied species Author Pederneiras, Leandro Cardoso Author Romaniuc-Neto, Sergio Author Mansano, Vidal De Freitas text Phytotaxa 2018 2018-07-19 361 2 244 250 http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.361.2.9 journal article 10.11646/phytotaxa.361.2.9 1179-3163 13705192 Ficus umbonigera Warb., Symb. Antill. (Urban) . 3(3): 480. 1903. Lectotype (designated here): — TRINIDAD . Between Latrea and Irais , 6 June 1868 , Hart 2808 ( US !). Nomenclatural notes:— The protologue does not state the herbarium where the type of F. umbonigera was deposited. Berg & Villavicencio (2004) indicated Hart 2808 ( B ) as the holotype ; however, this cannot be considered a lectotypification because it occurred after 2001 and the sentence “designated here” or similar phrase was not used ( Turland et al. 2018 , Art. 7.11). We were unable to locate the collection at Berlin ( B ). Here , we designate the collection of Hart 2808 ( US ) as the lectotype because it contains a branch, leaves, stipules, and preserved syconia . Taxonomical notes:— The currently accepted name for this taxon is Ficus americana subsp. guianensis .
