Besleria macropoda Donn. Sm.
Object Details
- Notes
- One of 3 collections (syntypes) cited in protologue; the first syntype, Pittier 572, was cited as "type" by Morton (1939, Contr. U.S. Natl. Herb. 29: 454) but without citing any herbarium, and no duplicate of this collection can be found at US. A duplicate of Pittier 572 is extant at BR (where the specimen labeling indicates collection was made by Cooper, rather than Pittier).
