Triplaris guaranitica Chodat (1903: 393) Type (designated by Brandbyge 1986):— PARAGUAY. Concepción Department, near Concepción [city], on the banks of the Paraguay River, August 1901 (fl), E. Hassler 7158 (lectotype: P [P 734726, digital image!]; isolectotypes: A [A 36842, digital image!], BM [BM 993269, digital image!], C [C 10017411, digital image!], F [F V0067811 F (fragment), digital image!], G [G 307170, G 307171, G 307172, G 307173, G 307174, digital image!], MO [MO 216234, MO 216235, digital image!], NY [NY 324236 digital image!], P [P 734727, P 734728, digital image!], S [S R-6240, digital image!], UC [UC 934856, digital image!], US [US 169688, digital image!]). Syntypes:— PARAGUAY. Concepción Department, near Concepción (city), on the banks of the Paraguay River, August 1901 (fr), E. Hassler 7157 (BM [BM 92558, digital image!], C [C 10017410, digital image!], G [G 307164, G 307165, G 307166, G 307167, G 307168, digital image!], MO [MO 2073225, digital image!], NY [NY 324237, digital image!], P [P 4993537, P 4993538, digital image!], S [S R-6239, digital image!], UC [UC 934857, digital image!]. Notes:— IPNI (2022) reports an incorrect epiteth “guarantica”. The original one given by Chodat (1903: 393) is “guaranitica ”. The indigenous language and people of Paraguay is “Guarani”. The epithet is probably derived from the name of the language and people. The protologue gives two syntypes (Art. 9.6 of ICBN), nos. 7157 (male) and 7158 (female). Brandbyge (1986) designated the latter (7158) as the lectotype and indicated 7157 as a paratype. The protologue gives the type locality as “ad ripam fluminis Paraguay in dumetis pr. Concepcion ”. On the basis of the information reported on the specimens, the plants were collected specifically near the city of Concepción, the administrative center of the Concepción Department. No collection year is given in the protologue. The printed labels for the Hassler/Chodat expedition on which these plants were collected give the years as “1901/2”. One of the isolectotypes (P 734728) gives a date in 1901. We report the more specific date.
