Abstract

Abstract : During ongoing taxonomic studies in the genus Citharexylum (Verbenaceae), twenty names were found in need of typification or typification clarifications. Fourteen names ( C. andinum, C. herrerae, C. ilicifolium, C. kunthianum, C. laetum, C. myrianthum var. acuminatum, C. myrianthum var. rigidum, C. pernambucense, C. poeppigii, C. quercifolium, C. solanaceum, C. solanaceum var. macrocalyx, C. surrectum and C. weberbaueri ) are here lectotypified, and epitypes are selected for three names ( C . herrerae, C. kunthianum and C . pernambucense ). Neotypes are designated for the names C . berteroi, C . broadwayi and C . coriaceum . Furthermore, updates and supporting information for three names already typified by Harold Moldenke ( C . macrochlamys, C . punctatum and C . subthyrsoideum ) are provided.
