Astrocaryum princeps var. flavum Barbosa Rodrigues 1888

8. Astrocaryum princeps var. flavum Barbosa Rodrigues (1888: 50). Type:—not designated and no specimens cited. Neotype [designated by Glassman (1972: 19) as “type”, here corrected]:—Illustration in Barbosa Rodrigues (1903b: Tab. 80C). = Astrocaryum tucuma. Notes:— Barbosa Rodrigues (1888) did not designate any type and did not cite any other original material in the protologue of Astrocaryum princeps var. flavum. However, the naturalist included an illustration of this taxon (Fig. 6) in his work Sertum Palmarum Brasiliensium (Barbosa Rodrigues 1903) some years after the original publication. Glassman (1972) designated this illustration as the “type” for the variety. Here, we recognize this illustration as a neotype.
