Triplaris felipensis Wedd.

Triplaris felipensis Wedd. (1849: 263–264, t.13) Type (designated by Brandbyge 1986):— VENEZUELA. [Yaracuy State] San Felipe, 1000 feet, June 1846 (fr), Funck and Schlim 657 (lectotype: P [P 734712, digital image!]; isolectotypes: G [G 437681, G 437682, digital image!], P [P 734711, digital image!], W [W 1889-0098543, digital image!]). Notes:— The protologue includes the citation of the following specimen: " V. S. [Vidi Siccus] Herb. Mus. Par. (Funck et Schlim, pl. exs., nº 687)”. The collection number is likely an orthographic error for “657”. In fact, the three relevant specimens occurring at P (P 734711 and P 734712) and W (W 1889-0098543) bear original labels with 657 (see also Brandbyge 1986). Additionally, discrepancies exist in the localities annotated on the labels of the specimens P 734711 (“prov. de San Felipe”) and P 734712 (“prov. de Carabobo ”). There is a town of San Felipe in Venezuela which is not, however, located in Carabobo (currently a State) but in the neighboring State of Yaracuy. It is likely that the type locality is the town of San Felipe in the present state of Yaracuy, but estimated at the time of collection to be in the province of Carabobo. Cocerning the W 1889-0098543 specimen, it gives the locality as “ Venezuela, etc.”,.
