Platycoryne trilobata Summerhayes 1958
Platycoryne trilobata Summerhayes (1958: 67) (Fig. 3) This is the second species that was described on the basis of a specimen collected and illustrated by Faulkner. Summerhayes (1958) revised the genus Platycoryne and designated Faulkner 452, also from Alto Catumbela and collected in October 1940, as the type. It was the only specimen referred to in the protologue. Since then, it has been recorded from Angola and Zambia, but remains a rather inconspicuous and rare species only found in wet dambos. The species is illustrated as drawing number 5 in notebook 1, but there is no separate illustration in K.
