Triplaris laxa S. F. Blake 1919

Triplaris laxa S.F. Blake (1919: 240) Type:— COLOMBIA. Bolívar Department, San Martín de Loba and vicinity, “Lands of Loba”, April or May 1916 (fr), H. M. Curran 20 (holotype: US [US 102481, digital image!]; isotypes: GH [GH 36846, digital image!], F [F V0067813 F (fragment), digital image!]). Notes:— “Lands of Loba” is an enigmatic locality. Presumably it is a reference to a private property. Brandbyge (1986) designated a lectotype for this species. The protologue, however, specifically indicates a type specimen, using the word “type” and citing a single sheet at US (US 102481). Following ICBN (Art. 9.1), this specimen is the holotype. Brandbyge’s (1986) lectotypification has been corrected here.
