Additional type data:
"in Cuba orientali", Wright 480 (lectotype, G-DC, selected by Rohwer 1993; possible isolectotypes, BM #758880, BR #5115419, G ##369015, 369017, 369018, GH #273105, HAC-h, K ##576168-576169, 576172 p.p. [upper right branch], MO, NY, P #128635, US #47712).
Miscellaneous information:
Imkhanitskaya (1974) selected a specimen from Jamaica, collected by Sloane (BM) as lectotype. This specimen, however, had not been cited by Meissner, and therefore it cannot be the type.
The Wright numbers appear to be species numbers rather than collection numbers. Therefore it is difficult to ascertain which collections really are duplicates of the type.
