Notes on the Pontederiaceae names described in Vellozo'sFlora fluminensis

Abstract

Notes on the Pontederiaceae names described in Vellozo's Flora fluminensis The names of Pontederiaceae described by Vellozo in his Flora fluminensis are here revised, with an orthographical correction, two lectotypes and one epitype designated.

Synopsis of Commelina L. (Commelinaceae) in the state of Rio de Janeiro, reveals a new white-flowered species endemic to Brazil

“…GeoCAT (Bachman et al, 2011) was used for calculating the Extent of Occurrence (EOO) and the Area of Occurrence (AOO). The typification of Vellozo’s names for Commelina followed the same methodology used by Pellegrini (2015), Pellegrini et al (2015) and Pellegrini & Carvalho (2016).…”

The identity and application of Coletia madida and notes on the typification of Mayacaceae

“…These illustrations are sometimes incomplete or inac curate for many different plant groups (Lima, 1995;Buzatto & al., 2013;Pastore, 2013;Knapp & al., 2015). Nevertheless, the illustrations of Commelinales species presented by Vellozo (1831) are in general accurate, with few being considered inac curate (Pellegrini, 2015;Pellegrini & al., 2015;Pellegrini & Forzza, in prep.). Since none of Vellozo's original specimens have been located, and in accordance with the requirements of the Code (McNeill & al., 2012: Art.…”

“…As was mentioned above, Vellozo described a new genus and species of Commelinaceae, which is now known to be a member of Mayacaceae. During the revision of the names of Commelinaceae published in Flora Fluminensis (Pellegrini & al., 2015;Pellegrini & Forzza, in press), new data regarding the identity and application of Coletia madida arose and led to the present contribution. Typification of Vellozo's names.…”

“…-Despite many attempts by different botanists over many years, material has neither been found nor is there information known about the current whereabouts of any of Vellozo's specimens (e.g., Lima, 1995;Pastore, 2013). Due to the lack of vouchers, the original il lustrations are usually the best option that botanists have for reviewing the taxa described by Vellozo (Carauta, 1969;Mello Filho, 1975;Cervi & Rodrigues, 2010;Buzatto & al., 2013;Pastore, 2013;Knapp & al., 2015;Pellegrini, 2015;Pellegrini & al., 2015). These illustrations are sometimes incomplete or inac curate for many different plant groups (Lima, 1995;Buzatto & al., 2013;Pastore, 2013;Knapp & al., 2015).…”

Typifications in Passiflora L. (Passifloraceae) described by Frei José Mariano da Conceição Vellozo

“…9.11 of the International Nomenclature Code for algae, fungi and plants (McNeill et al 2012), it is necessary to designate lectotypes for these species. Recently, lectotypifications for the species described and illustrated by Vellozo were undertaken by Lima (1995), Braga (2005), Lack (2012), Buzatto et al (2013), Pastore (2013), Porter-Utley (2014), Knapp et al (2015), Pellegrini (2015), Pellegrini et al (2015) and Svoboda et al (2016).…”
