A revised typification of the Linnaean name <i>Urena procumbens</i> (Malvaceae: Malvoideae)

Abstract The typification of the Linnaean name Urena procumbens (Malvaceae) is revisited. This name was lectotypified on a specimen in LINN. However, while the lectotype is original material, it lacks sufficient provenance information to unambiguously be recognized as a syntype through the citation of a collector and locality in the protologue. Therefore, it does not compete equally with a specimen in SBT that belongs to a gathering that was cited in the protologue and is a syntype. The current lectotype in LINN is overturned and is replaced with the specimen in SBT.
