Description

Begonia micranthera var. hieronymi (Lindau) Smith & Schubert (1941: 96).

Basionym: Begonia hieronymi Lindau (1895: 14). Lectotype:— ARGENTINA. Tucumán: [Department of Tafí del Valle], La Ciénaga, Sierra de Tucumán, 10–17 January 1874, G.H.E.W. Hieronymus & P.G. Lorentz 644 (lectotype B 10 0186668! designated here, isolectotypes B 10 0186669!, B 10 0186670!, CORD 00003573!, CORD 00003574!, F0BN020863 (photo)!, GOET 000315!, GOET 000316!).

Taxonomic notes:—In the protologue of B. hieronymi, Lindau cited two syntypes [TUCUMAN: Prope La Ciénaga, Sierra de Tucuman (L. et H. N. 644, 724)]. We chose the specimen G.H.E.W. Hieronymus & P.G. Lorentz 644 (B 10 0186668!) as a lectotype, because it is more widely represented in different herbaria, it is the more complete specimen and bears the original label with the name of the species by Lindau’s handwriting.
