Name

Espeletia moritziana Sch.Bip. ex Wedd., Chlor. Andina 1(3): 65–66 (1855 publ. 1856)

  • Syntypes:
    • J.J. Linden 399 (August [1842]; P ['lectotype' fide Diazgranados 2012; P04086194(GBIF), annotated as 'Lecto-holotypus' by J. Cuatrecasas in 1986]; Isosyntype: P [P02441522(CRIA, GBIF, JSTOR), only leaves; inflorescences are of E. semiglobulata Cuatrec.])
      • Note: as pointed in Tropicos, the lectotypification Diazgranados presented lacks reference in which it had been made; as Weddell (1856: 63) and Cuatrecasas (2013: 579) noticed, labelling on Linden collections had experienced some confusion, so Linden 368 (P [P04086193(GBIF)]) and Linden 398 (F [fide Smith & Koch 1935], G [fide Smith & Koch 1935], P [P02441483(CRIA, GBIF, JSTOR), leaves only; inflorescences are of E. semiglobulata], US [US00516669 (1473203)(GBIF, JSTOR, speciesLink)]) could be considered as isosyntypes, if Cuatrecasas' suggestion is correct.
    • J.W.K. Moritz 1416 (AugustDecember [1852]; B [destroyed; monochrome photocopy: F0BN015156(GBIF1, GBIF2, JSTOR)]).
  • Type locality: Venezuela. Sierra Nevada de Merida, h. 4200–4500 m.
