Description

Ficus ochroleuca Grisebach (1859: 151)

Lectotype (designated here): — JAMAICA. s.d., W. T. March 1449 (lectotype: GOET008101!).

Remaining syntypes:— JAMAICA. 1850. R. C . Alexander s.n. (GOET007377!, GOET007378!).

Nomenclatural notes:— The protologue of Ficus ochroleuca mentions two syntypes, R. C . Alexander and March, both collected in Jamaica, without number of collector or deposited herbarium. Warburg (1903) clarifies that these collections were in Grisebach’s herbarium, currently Göttingen University Herbarium (GOET). Analyzing the GOET collections, we found three types with the old annotation “ Ficus ochroleuca ” collected by Alexander and by March (GOET007377, GOET007378, GOET008101). As a lectotype, we chose the material of March 1449 (lectotype: GOET008101) because it contains branches, stipules, leaves and syconia in a young and mature phase. Berg & Dewolf (1975) cite the collection of Prior s.n. (K), but this lectotypification must be superseded because it is not an original material. Berg & Villavicencio (2004), Berg (2007) and Pelissari et al. (2019) cite March 1449 (GOET) collection as the holotype, but this needs to be corrected to lectotype according to the present work.

Taxonomical note:— Ficus ochroleuca was synonymized by Berg (2007) as F. pertusa.
