Description

Luehea speciosa Willdenow (1801: 410).

Type:— VENEZUELA. Distrito Capital: Caracas, “ Crescit prope Caracas ”, Bredemeyer s.n. (holotype B! [B-W14376–010]).

The specimen collected by Bredemeyer (s.n.) in Venezuela is the only one cited in the protologue of L. speciosa (Willdenow 1801). We located only one specimen in Herbarium B where his collections are found (Stafleu & Cowan 1976 –1988: 298). It consists of a sheet (barcode B-W14376–000) with only one label containing the identification and location data similar to those mentioned in the protologue. Another sheet contains one fertile specimen with both species and collector names (barcode B-W14376–010). Since no duplicates of the original sample were found, we believe that specimen B-W14376–010 can be considered as the holotype of the name L. speciosa in accordance with Art. 9.1 of the ICN and Mabberley (2002: 255). Based on Burret (1926), Rijckevorsel (2005), Brummitt (2007: 592) and the present study, the application of the name L. speciosa is confirmed as an accepted species.
