Typification and nomenclatural notes for names applying to Debregeasia taxa (Urticaceae)

Lectotype is proposed for four names, the lectotypified names are: Procris hypoleuca Steud. (=Debregeasia hypoleuca (Steud.) Wedd.); Debregeasia luteocarpa Elmer; Debregeasisa spiculifera Merr.; Debregeasia squamata King ex Hook.f. Second-step lectotypification is designated for Debregeasia ceylanica Hook.f. and neotype of Urtica dichotoma Blume (= Debregeasia dichotoma (Blume) Wedd.) has been proposed. This effort aims to ensure proper typification and enhance the nomenclatural stability of these names in accordance with the rules of botanical nomenclature.

Abstract

Lectotype is proposed for four names, the lectotypified names are: Procris hypoleuca Steud. (=Debregeasia hypoleuca (Steud.) Wedd.); Debregeasia luteocarpa Elmer; Debregeasisa spiculifera Merr.; Debregeasia squamata King ex Hook.f. Second-step lectotypification is designated for Debregeasia ceylanica Hook.f. and neotype of Urtica dichotoma Blume (= Debregeasia dichotoma (Blume) Wedd.) has been proposed. This effort aims to ensure proper typification and enhance the nomenclatural stability of these names in accordance with the rules of botanical nomenclature.
