Astrocaryum burity Barbosa Rodrigues 1903

19. Astrocaryum burity Barbosa Rodrigues (1903b: 73). Type:—not designated and no specimens cited. Lectotype [designated by Glassman (1972: 15) as “type”, here corrected]: Illustration in Barbosa Rodrigues (1903b: Tab. 71B). Notes:—The taxonomic identity of this species is still uncertain; it falls into the category of names not yet attributed to a known taxon (POWO 2024, Tropicos 2024, Vianna 2024). The protologue of A. burity (Barbosa Rodrigues 1903b) consists of a brief diagnostic description but does not indicate the type specimen. However, Barbosa Rodrigues included an original illustration (Fig. 9) in the protologue, which Glassman (1972) designated as the “type” due to the absence of other original material. To adhere to the International Code of Nomenclature (Turland et al. 2018), we propose upholding Glassman’s designation as the lectotype for this species.
