A review of Peruvian Phoradendron (Viscaceae) species names published by Paczoski and typified by material collected by Augusto Weberbauer

Abstract

Phoradendron englerianum and P. ernstianum, described by Jozef Paczoski based on Peruvian material have been recently neotypified. The original types, collected by Augusto Weberbauer in the Berlin herbarium (B) were destroyed during World War II. However, prior to these neotypifications, the two species names were inadvertently lectotypified using duplicate material for the original types kept at the Herbario Weberbauer (MOL) in Lima, Peru. Additional information on another Paczoski name, P. leucocarpum, a species transferred to Dendrophthora, is also provided.

Typification of names of Clusiaceae based on material collected by August Weberbauer in Peru

“…In recent years, a few taxonomists have designated lectotypes of names of taxa based on specimens collected by Weberbauer (León & al. 2006;Luteyn & al.…”

Notas sobre y lectotipificaciones de las colecciones de Augusto Weberbauer de Ericaceae peruanas

“…The type legacy of Weberbauer in Peru was partially accounted for by Velarde (1968Velarde ( , 1969, who as discussed by León et al (2006), involuntarily lectotypified some names using duplicates kept at the MOL herbarium. Velarde's papers followed the arrangement of Engler's classification system, but only listed a total of 700 names for several families (except those in the subclass Sympetalae), and thus did not include the Ericaceae.…”

“…Velarde's papers followed the arrangement of Engler's classification system, but only listed a total of 700 names for several families (except those in the subclass Sympetalae), and thus did not include the Ericaceae. However, thanks to the recent cataloguing of his complete collection at MOL (see León et al, 2006); it is possible to clarify both nomenclature and geographical data.…”
