Cyphia stheno Webb

Description

Cyphia stheno Webb

(Campanulaceae) that was described as a species from Cape Verde based on a specimen at P [P00088662] (Fig. 3),

is in fact a species from Angola and it is not known from Cape Verde. The type of C. stheno was wrongly labelled as from “Cap-vert. Herbier rapporté du Portugal en 1808 par M. Geoffroy St. Hilaire ”. This is most certainly a Silva collection.
