Weddell 2605 (holotype P00481659!), syn. nov.</p> <p>Notes: — Naudin (1845) described M. acuminata based on Gardner from Herb. Deless. (currently at G). Triana (1872) and Cogniaux (1883, 1891) cited Gardner 3730 when synonymizing it in C. oxyantherum and C. acuminatum, respectively. However, despite our searches at herbarium G (and other herbaria), we did not find corresponding to the original material cited in the protologue (i.e., Gardner s.n.). Therefore, we follow Triana’s and Cogniaux’s interpretation who considered the collection Gardner (in the protologue) as Gardner 3730.</p> <p>Although there are three sheets of M. castrata at P, two sheets (P02297657 and P02297659) were only acquired in 1904 (see Bureau 1904; Le Bras et al. 2017). Therefore, we assume the sheet with a short description handwritten by Naudin as holotype of M. castrata.</p> <p>Microlicia acuminata was described by Naudin (1845) as having quadrangular branches with setose trichomes, ovate or lanceolate leaf blades (7–10 × ca. 0.7 mm), acuminate at the apex with a terminal trichome, only with one central vein, long trichomes and hirsute indumentum on the leaf blades, entire and setose-ciliate margins, purple petals, and axillar flowers or at the apex of the branches. Triana (1872), when transferring M. oxyanthera to Chaetostoma De Candolle (1828: 112), synonymized M. acuminata and M. castrata under C. oxyantherum. Despite Cogniaux (1883) having accepted this transference to Chaetostoma, he considered C. acuminatum, C. castratum, and C. oxyantherum as three distinct species. Koschnitzke &amp; Martins (2007) returns to Naudin’s recognition and also propose C. acuminatum var. ramosissima as synonym of M. acuminata. Analyzing the type collection of M. acuminata, M. castrata, M. oxyanthera, and M. oxyanthera var. albiflora, we concluded that the variation found in the original material of these entities (see Koschnitzke &amp; Martins 2007) overlap and are insufficient to recognize them as different taxa.</p> <p>More than 30 collections from Goiás and Mato Grosso states were examined, and we observed a morphological variation in M. acuminata, mainly regarding the indumentum of the branches, leaves, hypanthium, and sepals, to sparse a densely distributed. Despite this variation, we can recognize M. acuminata by its indumentum of setose trichomes mixed with spherical glands, sessile and ascending leaves with acuminate apices, purple or pink petals, sometimes cream at the base, rarely white, oblong hypanthia, and long and lanceolate sepals. The stamens are yellow, subisomorphic with polysporangiate, and ovate-oblong anthers with short rostrate apices.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E3D87C6FFDFFFF67790FD2AFBF3FED5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Candollio nominata, ideoque pro vera M. variolosa habenda est ”). The information in the protologue of M. variolosa (“ in Brasiliae et Peruviae montanis ” - p. 119) does not match the original material used by Naudin (1845) to establish M. avicularis. In the same work, he recognized the specimen A. Saint Hilaire (P02297685, P02297686) as the “true M. variolosa ” (see page 181). Later, Naudin (1849) described this collection (A. Saint Hilaire) as Microlicia oligantha Naudin (1849: 241), mentioning that it corresponded to a part of M. variolosa. Currently, M. oligantha is a synonym of M. confertiflora (see Romero 2013b).</p> <p>Naudin (1845) described M. avicularis based on five syntypes. We have seen Claussen 578 at P with a handwritten short description by Naudin (Fig. 1), and we concluded that it is one of the syntypes. Therefore, it was chosen as lectotype of M. avicularis. There is a collection Claussen s.n. at P (P05316466!), which has a handwritten identification by Naudin, and two labels with Claussen 1039, and indeed, this is another syntype. Despite our searches at M and P herbaria, we did not find the Martius specimen.</p> <p>Naudin (1849) described M. myrtifolia indicating a collection made by Antoine-Charles Vauthier (1790–1879) in Serra do Frio. By listing this species, Triana (1872) added the number 33 to the Vauthier collection (Vauthier 33). The single sheet Vauthier 33 deposited at P has a short description handwritten by Naudin (Fig. 2) and should be considered a holotype (see Martin &amp; Cremers 2007). The type collection of M. myrtifolia has the same morphological features as M. avicularis, therefore it is included as its synonymy.</p> <p>Cogniaux (1883) described M. avicularis var. subspathulata to include specimens with obovate-oblong leaf blades 10–14 × 2–3.5 mm, rounded at the apex, and crenulate margins. The leaf blade features alone are not sufficient to distinguish this variety from M. avicularis. Cogniaux (1883) cited Glaziou 14727 and Glaziou 14728 from Rio de Janeiro as M. avicularis and M. avicularis var. subspathulata, respectively. According to Glaziou (1908), the collection Glaziou 14727 is from “Morro do Inficionado, prés Caraça, Minas” and Glaziou 14728 is from “Rio das Pedras, dans les campos, Minas”, both localities in Minas Gerais state. The specimen Glaziou 14727 at P has the following annotation “Caraça ou Inficcionado” handwritten by Glaziou, whereas Glaziou 14728 does not bear information as to where it was collected. Microlicia avicularis is endemic to the Espinhaço Range in Minas Gerais and, up to now, there is no record in Rio de Janeiro state (Romero et al. 2020). Certainly, this represents more erroneous data from Glaziou collections (see Wurdack 1970).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E3D87C6FFDEFFF67790FE64FE72F8ED	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The author also mentioned a manuscript (mss.) which we believe is the label on the left side of the sheet. On this label are the handwritings of Auguste de Saint-Hilaire and Naudin (Fig. 3). Thus, we conclude that this is the holotype and the other sheet that does not have the handwritten label is the isotype.</p> <p>Cogniaux (1883) pointed out duplicates of Burchell 7615 were deposited at “herb. Mus. Paris et Kew” (P and K, respectively). Therefore, the specimen deposited at K is designated here as the lectotype of M. burchelliana since it agrees with the protologue and is in good condition.</p> <p>When describing M. albida, Pilg. in Engler (1903 [1904]) referred to one collection made by Glaziou (Glaziou 21220) in Brazil, deposited at B, but destroyed during World War II (see Hiepko 1987). The holotype’s photo (F0 BN016582) bears a handwritten identification by Pilger as “ Microlicia albida Pilger n. sp. ”. So, the duplicates at K, BR, G, P, and R are isotypes; the specimen from K is designated here as the lectotype and the remaining as isolectotypes.</p> <p>Analysis of the type collections of M. albida, M. burchelliana, and M. cryptandra shows that all the specimens share the same floral features. But M. albida has ovate to ovate-lanceolate leaf blades with rounded bases, M. burchelliana has lanceolate leaf blades with rounded bases, whereas M. cryptandra has ovate leaf blades with distinctly cordate bases. The leaves features are insufficient to maintain M. albida and M. burchelliana as distinct species and, certainly, are a variation of M. cryptandra. This pattern has been reported for other species in Microlicia (see Romero 2003a, 2013a; Romero &amp; Versiane 2021).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E3D87C6FFDEFFF37790F87CFD8AFB83	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Microlicia euphorbioides var. matogrossensis Pilg. in Engler (1902: 180). Gesellig an trocknem Abhang am Quellbach des Jatobá, n. 668 Bluhend und funchehtend in June 1899 [in the protologue] (holotype B†).</p> <p>Notes:—Martius (1831) described M. euphorbioides with two varieties: M. euphorbioides var. leucantha with wider leaves, acuminate apices, and white flowers [see tab. 252, fig. 1, in Martius (1831)] and M. euphorbioides var. ionantha with narrower leaves, acute apices, and pink flowers [see tab. 252, fig. 2, in Martius (1831)]. Martius (1831) did not indicate any collection to M. euphorbioides and neither to its varieties but provided a beautiful illustration of each. In the original description of M. euphorbioides, the author mentioned only “ crescit in pascuis apricis calidioribus prope S. João do Principe, Sabará et alibi in Provincia Minarum. Floret primis anni mensibus ”, suggesting this species is widespread and based upon field observations. There is no herbarium specimen known that matches these two localities, but Martius (1831) wrote “ et alibi ” (and in other places), so he saw (collected?) the species also in other localities. There is one specimen at M that are original Martius collection from Villa Rica/Serro Frio in Minas Gerais. These localities are not directly cited in the protologue, but they are originally by Martius and could be “ et alibi ”. Therefore, we consider this sheet as original material of M. euphorbioides, according to Article 9.3 (Turland et al. 2018).</p> <p>This publication automatically established the corresponding autonym M. euphorbioides var. euphorbioides according to Article 26.3 (Turland et al. 2018). Since Martius (1831) did not mention any original material for the autonym, and this sheet matches the description, we designate Martius (M0165696) as the lectotype (Articles 9.2 and 26.2). The sheet at M bears one branch with flowers and a description of Rhexia enervia handwritten by Schrank and does not mention the color of the petals. The sheet also has two labels with determination of M. euphorbioides var. leucantha and M. euphorbioides [var.] ionantha handwritten by Martius (Fig. 4). The label with the determination M. euphorbioides [var.] ionantha also has the name R. enervia. The vegetative and reproductive parts correspond perfectly well to the protologue description and the illustration of M. euphorbioides var. ionantha, and we believe that this variety was based on the same collection (Martius, M0165696).</p> <p>Martius (M0242330) is designated as lectotype of M. euphorbioides var. leucantha (Fig. 5), according to Article 9.11 (Turland et al. 2018), since correspond perfectly well to the protologue description and the illustration of M. euphorbioides var. leucantha. In addition, this sheet has a description of Rhexia euphorbioides handwritten by Schrank attached, where he mentions the flowers have white petals. Most of the populations of M. euphorbioides have pink flowers, only some populations occurring in cerrado from Uberlândia, Carrancas and Delfinópolis (Romero 1996; Matsumoto &amp; Martins 2005; Silva &amp; Romero 2008), in Minas Gerais and from Serra dos Pireneus, in Goiás are known by having flowers with white petals (Versiane et al. 2016).</p> <p>The specimen Martii Herbar Florae Brasil 939 at M (M0165695, F0 BN016594) was identified by Martius as M. euphorbioides var. rosea, but this variety was never published. In fact, this specimen corresponds to Microlicia helvola (Sprengel 1825: 309) Triana (1872: 25). A sheet at G (G00318506!) and K (on the right side) herbaria also bear a branch of M. helvola, but at W the same number corresponds to M. serpyllifolia.</p> <p>In the protologue of M. oblongifolia, Naudin (1845) reported that the material used to describe this species is in the Saint-Hilaire herbarium. The author also mentioned a manuscript (mss.) which we believe is the label with a short description and drawing on the left side of the sheet. Thus, we assume that this is the holotype and that the other sheet which does not have the handwritten label is the isotype.</p> <p>Naudin (1845) described M. oblongifolia with its variety (M. oblongifolia var. leucantha) by having small white flowers. Naudin (1845) noted that M. oblongifolia was close to M. euphorbioides and possibly not distinct (haec species M. euphorbioidi valde affinis est nec ab ea forsan distinguenda). We follow Cogniaux (1883) in treating M. oblongifolia var. leucantha as a synonym of M. euphorbioides because the description is consistent with its circumscription.</p> <p>Cogniaux (1883) described M. euphorbioides var. setosa based on three syntypes. Here Manso 293 from BR is designated as lectotype because it better represents the species description, clearly showing the characters mentioned in the protologue. The syntype Mosen 1282 actually does not match the description of M. euphorbioides and possibly is a new species. Cogniaux (1883) proposed the varieties based on morphological features of the leaves, which are insufficient to maintain them as varieties and certainly are variations of the typical form.</p> <p>The holotype of M. euphorbioides var. matogrossensis was destroyed during World War II (see Hiepko 1987), and despite searches in several herbaria, no one duplicate was found.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E3D87C6FFDBFFFD7790FB99FCDEF8CA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Mart.). There is a sheet at M with a description of Rhexia graveolens handwritten by Schrank and Martius attached (Fig. 6), which should be considered the holotype of M. graveolens.</p> <p>In the protologue of M. leucantha, Naudin (1849) indicated a collection made by Weddell in Brazil. Since there are two sheets at P (Weddell 2560), we designated the sheet with a short description and drawing made by Naudin as the lectotype of M. leucantha.</p> <p>Cogniaux (1883) described M. leucantha var. purpurea to include specimens with purple to purple-violet flowers. In the protologue of M. leucantha var. purpurea, Cogniaux (1883) cited Glaziou 14720 at Herb. Eichl. According to Stafleu &amp; Cowan (1976), the types of South American from A.W. Eichler (1839–1887) are mainly at B, destroyed during World War II (see Hiepko 1987), but a part at M and G. Duplicates were only seen at BR, K, P, and R. The material at BR was chosen as the lectotype because the vegetative and reproductive parts correspond to the protologue description, it is in good condition, and BR was the home institution of Cogniaux. In the protologue, Cogniaux (1883) mentioned that the specimen was collected in Rio de Janeiro, but in the suppressed work “Liste des plantes du Brésil Central recueillies en 1861–1895”, Glaziou (1908) noted that Glaziou 14720 is from Ouro Preto, in Minas Gerais state. In fact, the specimen Glaziou 14720 at P has the annotation “Ouro Preto (campo de S. Sebastião)” handwritten by Glaziou, whereas the specimen from BR does not bear information as to where it was collected. Microlicia graveolens is endemic to Minas Gerais state (Romero et al. 2020), occurring in the Espinhaço Range and, up to now, there is no record for Rio de Janeiro state. Certainly, this is also indicative of erroneous data from Glaziou collections (see Wurdack 1970).</p> <p>The original description of M. graveolens matches with the morphology of M. seringeana, M. hilariana, M. leucantha, and M. leucantha var. purpurea; therefore, we propose them as synonyms of M. graveolens.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E3D87C6FFD5FFF97790F85EFA8FFD1F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Berolinense (B), were examined in seven herbaria, but only the sheet at K has the numbers B.1181 c.1767 (Fig. 7). Analysis of Sellow’s duplicates shows the same vegetative pattern, and it is certain that all collections, even Sellow B.1181 c.1767, are duplicates of the same collection from B, destroyed during World War II (see Hiepko 1987).</p> <p>In describing M. hypericoides, Chamisso (1834) did not indicate the holotype, although he mentioned a Sellow collection. The collection at BR, G, and P has the handwritten identification “ M. hypericoides ” by Chamisso. Chamisso’s description of M. hypericoides is consistent with the Sellow specimen discussed above, and we conclude that M. helvola and M. hypericoides were described based on the same type. According to Article 11.4 (Turland et al. 2018), M. hypericoides is considered a superfluous and illegitimate name.</p> <p>Cogniaux (1883) described M. euphorbioides var. brevifolia based on three syntypes. The syntype Gardner 3161 is chosen as the lectotype because its vegetative and reproductive parts correspond to the protologue description, and it is in good condition. Furthermore, the syntype Warming s.n. has not been located. Microlicia euphorbioide s var. macrocarpa also was based on three syntypes, and Gardner 2854 is designated here as the lectotype since the vegetative and reproductive parts agree with the protologue description.The sheet Gardner 2854 from K (K000530579!) corresponds to M. acuminata.</p> <p>When describing M. helvola var. hirsuta, Pilg. in Engler (1903 [1904]) referred to one collection made by Glaziou (Glaziou 21293) in Brazil. Probably it was deposited at B and destroyed during World War II (see Hiepko 1987). Therefore, the duplicates at K, BM, and BR are isotypes; the specimen from K is designated here as the lectotype and the remaining are isolectotypes.</p> <p>The striate hypanthium, sparsely to densely villosous, with a concentration of setose trichomes on sepals, cylindrical and urceolate hypanthium, and bicolorous anthers are remarkable features and distinguish M. helvola from M. euphorbioides. Microlicia helvola can occur sympatrically with M. euphorbioides in some localities of Minas Gerais and Goiás states.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E3D87C6FFD1FFFB7790FD33FE15FE0C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In the protologue, the author only cited “ in Brasiliae et Peruviae montanis ”, suggesting that this species and varieties were described based on collections from Brazil and mountains of Peruvia (currently Bolivia, see Macbride 1941). De Candolle (1828) did not mention any particular specimen to M. variolosa var. hirsuta and M. variolosa var. glabra, but provided a list of binomials handwritten by Schrank &amp; Martius in several sheets from M. The specific epithet “variolosa” possibly alludes the diversity of forms (see Stearn 1983) found in this species by him.</p> <p>Naudin (1845) was the first who noted that M. variolosa was described based on a mixture of collections corresponding to different species. So much that, in this same work, he described M. baccharoides Mart. ex Naudin (1845: 174) and M. avicularis based on the part of the type material of M. variolosa. See our comments under M. avicularis.</p> <p>Cogniaux (1883) in Flora Brasiliensis, described M. peruviana Cogniaux (1883: 84) also based on M. variolosa var. glabra type material (Haenke in herb. Monac.). Other sheets cited in the protologue are recognized as M. confertiflora Naudin (1845: 176), M. cordata (Sprengel 1820: 301) Chamisso (1834: 390), M. isophylla De Candolle (1828: 120), and M. serpyllifolia.</p> <p>Triana (1872) elevated M. variolosa var. hirsuta to Microlicia hirsuta and related it as a synonym of M. euphorbioides. However, according to Article 36.1 (Turland et al. 2018), this name is not validly published since it is merely cited as a synonym. Here, we designate M. Steven (G0310285) as lectotype of M. variolosa var. hirsuta (articles 9.2 and 26.2), as this specimen corresponds well to the protologue and has a short original description handwritten by De Candolle (Fig. 8), and also elevates it to rank species as M. hirsuta. We discuss Microlicia variolosa below.</p> <p>In the protologue of M. decussata, Naudin (1845) explicitly reported that the material used to describe this species was in the Saint-Hilaire herbarium. The author also mentioned a manuscript (mss.) which we believe is the label with a short description and drawing on the left side of the sheet. Thus, we assume that this sheet is the holotype and that the other sheet that does not have the handwritten label is the isotype.</p> <p>When proposing M. fasciculata, Naudin (1845) mentioned that this species was based on Mart. herb. nº 936, which is part of original material of M. variolosa var. hirsuta. This sheet at M has a description of Rhexia exul handwritten by Schrank and is cited in the protologue of M. variolosa var. hirsuta. Both species have quadrangular branches, sessile, ovate to ovate-oblong leaves, with entire margin, both surfaces covered by setose trichomes mixed with spherical glands, and three nerves from the base, solitary flowers, short-pedicellate, cylindrical hypanthium, oblong-triangular sepals, shorter than the hypanthium length, and dimorphic stamens. Therefore, we are proposing the synonymization of M. fasciculata in M. hirsuta. We choose Martii Herbar Florae Brasil 936 (G00318549!) as the lectotype of M. fasciculata since it agrees perfectly with the protologue description. Despite mentioning two other collections in the protologue, we did not find these specimens at P (see Martin &amp; Cremers 2007).</p> <p>Cogniaux (1883) proposed M. cinerea based on part of the original material of M. variolosa var. hirsuta (pro parte, see p. 86). The author cited “ Rhexia avicularis Schrank &amp; Mart. ! Mss. ex DC!”, indicating that this species was based on this material. Cogniaux (1883) also described M. cinerea var. oblongifolia and M. cinerea var. ovata citing three syntypes for the first and two for the second. According to Article 26.3 (Turland et al. 2018), this publication automatically established the corresponding autonym M. cinerea var. cinerea. The sheet at M has a description of Rhexia avicularis handwritten by Schrank and a label with the Cogniaux determination of M. cinerea var. oblongifolia. Since Cogniaux (1883) did not mention any original material for the autonym, we designate Martius (M0165689) as the lectotype (Articles 9.2 and 26.2). We also designated Martius as lectotype of M. cinerea var. oblongifolia.</p> <p>The type of M. decussata bears smaller leaves, with elliptical blades, rounded bases, obtuse and short apiculate apices, and both surfaces with trichomes smaller than the typical form of M. hirsuta. Nevertheless, as in M. hirsuta, the hypanthium is cylindrical, costate, and the triangular sepals are shorter ca. ⅓ than the length of the hypanthium and we propose it as synonyms of M. hirsuta. The morphological features used to describe M. decussata, M. cinerea and both varieties are insufficient and also are certainly variations on the typical form, therefore we propose them as synonyms of M. hirsuta.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E3D87C6FFD3FFE57790FE1CFEA1FBD8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Chamisso (1834) called these species “Spuriae”, that later were correctly placed in Acisanthera and Comolia by Triana (1872). In the second part, Chamisso (1834) listed species that he considered to belong to Microlicia, “ Microliciae Don. Genuiae ”, i.e., species with ovateoblong anthers, shortly rostrate and frequently subshrub. For some of these species, he appended the letter N. (nostrus, a, um) when it was considered a new species. The species no. 7 was listed as “ Microliciae species insignis est ” (i.e., a remarkable species of Microlicia) followed by the name Melastoma Lhotzky et Manso, Flora de Matto Grosso Cujabensis no. 52. This work has never been located. Chamisso (1834) presented a short description of this plant, but he did not explicitly name it. However, in the index the epithet “insignis” is listed, added by the editor Diederich Franz Leonhard von Schlechtendal (1794–1866) (see Heuchert et al. 2017). Since then, the name M. insignis has been used in several herbaria, but always with some confusion regarding to its authorship.</p> <p>Although there are three sheets of M. chloracea at P, one of them (P02297821) was added in 1892 and the other one (P02297822) was acquired in 1904 (see Bureau 1904; Le Bras et al. 2017). Therefore, we conclude the sheet with a short description handwritten by Naudin is the holotype of M. chloracea. Naudin (1849) cited Gardner 3156 in the protologue of M. depauperata without providing additional information. There are three sheets at P; one belonged to E. Drake’s herbarium, donated to P in 1904 (see Bureau 1904; Le Bras et al. 2017). We designated as lectotype of M. depauperata the sheet with a short description and drawing made by Naudin.</p> <p>Cogniaux (1883) described M. francavillana based on two sheets and Gardner 3732bis from BR is designated as lectotype because it better represents the species description, clearly showing the characters mentioned in the protologue. Furthermore, in the same work, Cogniaux (1883) indicated Pohl 1220 as original material from M. pallida, which is here lectotypified and synonymized under M. insignis.</p> <p>When describing M. goyazensis, Pilg. in Engler (1903 [1904]) referred to one collection made by Glaziou (Glaziou 21250) in Brazil, deposited at B, but destroyed during World War II (see Hiepko 1987). The specimen from BR is designated here as lectotype and the remaining as isolectotypes.</p> <p>In the original description of M. insignioides, Hoehne (1922) cited two specimens. The sheet F.C. Hoehne 2411 corresponds perfectly with the protologue, and it is selected herein as lectotype of M. insignioides.</p> <p>Ducke (1922) cited only one specimen (Ducke s.n. [“N. 15616”]) in the protologue of M. paraensis. In this work, he mentioned the number of the herbarium of the Museu Paraense [Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi – MG]. This specimen is in the records of the MG herbarium, but, despite several searches, it was not found in the collection. The sheet cited in the protologue was taken by E. Adolpho Ducke (1876–1959) to RB (A.S.B. Gil, pers. commun.).</p> <p>Hoehne (1922) assigned the name M. insignis var. cearensi s to Ducke and mentioned that [RB] n° 10.841 (Ducke s.n. [MG 15.616]) was recognized as a new species by the collector. Ducke s.n. [MG15.616] is the original material from M. paraensis. So, M. insignis var. cearensis is treated as nomen nudum according to Article 38.1 (Turland et al. 2018).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E3D87C6FFCDFFE47790FB70FF52F947	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Since there are two sheets at M with this number, both determined by Markgraf, we designated as lectotype of M. luetzelburgii the sheet with two branches, which better represents the species.</p> <p>In the original description of M. carrasci, Markgr. in Pilger (1927) also cited two specimens. The sheet Luetzelburg 159 with Markgraf’s determination corresponds perfectly with the protologue, and it is selected herein as lectotype of M. carrasci.</p> <p>When describing M. luetzelburgii, Markgr. in Pilger (1927) noted that this species is close to M. carrasci, differing only by the larger leaves. Examination of the types of both binomials and recent collections from Bahia revealed that the variation found is insufficient to recognize them as distinct species. In fact, the type collection of M. carrasci shows branches with lanceolate leaves and smaller (12–15 × 4–5 mm) than in M. luetzelburgii. These characteristics are also found in E. Saar et al. (PCD) 4787 (seen at K). Since both binomials were published on the same page, we choose the name M. luetzelburgii that honors Philipp von Luetzelburg (1880–1948), an early 20th century German botanist and explorer in Northeast of Brazil.</p> <p>Microlicia luetzelburgii is a shrub 1–2.5 m tall. The branches, leaves, hypanthium, and sepals have a dense indumentum of spherical glands and glandular trichomes. The leaves are sessile, with a central vein lighter and visible. The leaf blades vary from lanceolate to ovate, with ciliate margins. The flowers have campanulate and 5- costate hypanthium, linear sepals, acute apices with a glandular trichome, and dimorphic stamens with yellow and polysporangiate anthers. Although the descriptions of M. luetzelburgii and M. carrasci mentioned yellow petals, there is no information about the petals color on the label of the type collection. All recent collections have white petals, and examinating the dried flowers of the type collection, it is not possible to determine whether the petals are yellow or not. Nevertheless, in some collections from Bahia (G. Hatschbach et al. 56700 and A. Furlan et al. CFCR 1684), the petals became brownish after drying. Therefore, we are considering that M. luetzelbuergii has white petals.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E3D87C6FFCCFFE77790F8D4FAB7FC15	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The sheet Luetzelburg 89 [c] is undoubtedly a duplicate of the collection Luetzelburg 89, while the sheet Luetzelburg [89b] is a duplicate of the collection Luetzelburg s.n. (collected in July 1914). The sheet Luetzelburg 89 was chosen as lectotype since it agrees perfectly with the protologue description and is in good condition.</p> <p>The collection type of M. semiriana has discolorous, ascending, and sessile leaves, ovate to ovate-oblong leaf blades with acute apices, and entire margins. The hypanthium is campanulate, the triangular sepals are shorter than the hypanthium length, with acute apices, and the flowers have a short pedicel ca. 0.5 mm long. The petals and the stamens are yellow. The type material of M. semiriana matches M. lutea, so it is here considered as a synonym.</p> <p>Microlicia lutea is a much-branched subshrub, 0.5–1 m tall with quadrangular branches. The branches, leaves, hypanthium, and sepals have an indumentum of spherical golden glands, giving a glutinous aspect to the whole plant. The leaves are sessile, ascending, small 2–6 × 0.8–3 mm, rarely larger 8–9 × 5–6 mm, and often imbricate but can vary between populations. The leaf blades are elliptical, lanceolate, ovate-oblong or ovate, with rounded to cordate bases (Mori &amp; Benton 13527), acute, obtuse to short acuminate apices, and commonly with one vein, rarely three. The flowers are sessile or have short pedicels (ca. 0.5 mm long) with cylindrical, campanulate, smooth and light green hypanthium, triangular sepals shorter than the hypanthium length. The petals and the dimorphic (in size) stamens are yellow. The polysporangiate anthers are ovate-oblong to oblong, with rostrate apices (beak ca. 0.2 mm long). All stamens have a pedoconnective with a ventral appendage 0.2–1 mm long.</p> <p>Microlicia lutea resembles M. parvula (Markgr. in Pilger [1927: 44]) Koschnitzke &amp; Martins (2007: 472), which occurs sympatrically in Rio de Contas, Piatã, Mucugê, Abaíra, and Seabra, Bahia state. Both have small leaves covered with spherical, golden glands, sessile or short pedicellate flowers, with yellow petals and stamens, campanulate hypanthium, and sepals shorter than the hypanthium length. However, in M. parvula the stamens are isomorphic, the pedoconnective is 1.5–2 mm long, and the ventral appendage is inconspicuous, not exceeding 0.2 mm long.</p> <p>More than 50 collections from Bahia state were examined, and we noticed an enormous variation in M. lutea, mainly related to the leaf blades, as previously mentioned by Woodgyer (2005). Despite this variation, we can recognize M. lutea by sessile or short pedicellate flowers, yellow petals and stamens, campanulate hypanthium with short sepals, and dimorphic stamens with polysporangiate anthers.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E3D87C6FFCFFFE67790FC24FD5DFE61	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Years later, Sprengel (1825) described Rhexia fulva, also based on a Sellow’s collection from Brazil “ Brasil Sello ”, which was transferred to Microlicia by Chamisso (1834). Photography from the specimen Sellow 1176, c.1862 at B (F0 BN016598) has a label with the names Rhexia fulva and Microlicia fulva handwritten by Sprengel and Chamisso, respectively. We concluded Sprengel (1825) described R. fulva also based on Sellow 1176, c.1862. Only the duplicate Martii Herbar Florae Brasil 938 at P corresponds to M. serpyllifolia; Martii Herbar Florae Brasil 938 at BM, G00318519, K000530601, and M0165690 corresponds to M. cordata.</p> <p>Triana (1872) recognized M. serpyllifolia and listed M. fulva, M. variolosa, and M. martialis as synonyms. Cogniaux (1883) accepted all the synonymous proposed by Triana (1872) but erroneously considered M. fulva as the correct name. Cogniaux (1883) also established the variety martialis based on M. martialis, which has ovate-oblong leaf blades, acute apices, with 2–4 × 1–2 mm leaf blades, and very short internodes.</p> <p>Since Triana (1872), the name M. fulva has been used (see Romero &amp; Martins 2002; Matsumoto &amp; Martins 2005; Silva &amp; Romero 2008), although the name M. serpyllifolia had been proposed almost 200 years before by Don (1823). However, according to the Article 11.3 (Turland et al. 2018), the correct name is M. serpyllifolia since it is the earliest binomial and has priority over the others. Microlicia serpyllifolia has a wide distribution in Brazil, occurring in São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Goiás, and Bahia states (Romero et al. 2020).</p> <p>We did not find the sheet Clausen 57, and we believe that the number 57 was undoubtedly a typographical error in the protologue of M. cardiophora.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E3D87C6FFCEFFE67790FDF8FDA7F888	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

[sheet] (holotype W!, isotype BR0000005221073!, photo F0360364F!), syn. nov.</p> <p>Notes:—In the protologue of Rhexia setosa, Sprengel (1820) cited only “Hab. in Brasilia”, not indicating any specimen. Some years later, Sprengel (1825) provided a short description of R. setosa and cited “ Brasil. Sello”. We assume that Sprengel (1820) saw this specimen Sello. The photo of the holotype from B (F0 BN016625) has the number “1183, 1769”, which was omitted by Sprengel (1825). The duplicates at BR, K, and P have labels indicating their origin from B and are considered isotypes. Thus, we choose the duplicate from K as the lectotype while the others are isolectotypes (Fig. 9).</p> <p>Don (1823) also described M. linophylla based on a Sellow’s collection from Herb. Sims (currently at K) as indicated in the protologue. We believe that M. linophylla was based on the duplicate of Sellow’s collection from B (Sellow 1183, 1769). According to Don (1823), the leaves are ascending and lanceolate, with aristate apices, entire margins, both surfaces glabrous, with a pair of veins; the flowers are solitary, subsessile, axilar, and terminal with a glabrous hypanthium (“ calyces glabri ”). These characteristics fit well in M. setosa, and we recognize it as a synonymy.</p> <p>De Candolle (1828) transferred R. setosa to Microlicia and accepted M. linophylla as a distinct species. De Candolle (1828) also described M. aristata without mentioning any detail about the indumentum of the hypanthium, but the type collection shows that is glabrous. Chamisso (1834) accepted M. setosa and mentioned that possibly M. linophylla should be a synonym of M. setosa.</p> <p>Naudin (1849) provided the new name M. sellowiana to M. setosa, as indicated in the protologue “ M. setosa Cham. Herb. Berol. non DC.”. Naudin (1849) pointed out that he was referring to the species described by Chamisso (1834) from Herb. Berol. (B), and not the species described by De Candolle (1828). In fact, Chamisso (1834) just recognized M. setosa and provided a detailed description based on specimens of Sellow and Martius from Brazil. Naudin (1849) also described M. sellowiana var. ciliata based on a single specimen from P. Despite the specimen having leaves with sparse trichomes and ciliate margins, it fits well in M. setosa.</p> <p>In the protologue of M. setosa var. angustifolia, Cogniaux (1883) cited “ in Bras. meridionali: Sello n. 1183, 1769 ” and the photo of the holotype of M. setosa in B bears a handwritten identification of M. setosa var. angustifolia by Cogniaux. Curiously, Cogniaux (1883) recognized M. sellowiana as a synonym of M. setosa but transferred M. sellowiana var. ciliata to M. setosa (= M. setosa var. ciliata) by having leaves 7–8 × 2 mm, with trichomes on abaxial surfaces and margins slightly ciliate. Cogniaux (1883) also reduced M. aristata to M. setosa var. aristata by its glabrous leaves 10–13 × 1.5 mm leaf blades, aristate apices, as well as the sepals. Morphological features of the leaves used to recognize the varieties are insufficient to maintain them and are certainly variations on the typical form.We also propose here M. reichardtiana as a synonym because the description and the type are consistent with the circumscription of M. setosa.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E3D87C6FFCEFFE17790F8A0FF56F9B4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Drake’s herbarium, donated to P in 1904 (see Bureau 1904; Le Bras et al. 2017). Therefore, we assume the sheet with a short description and drawing made by Naudin as the holotype of M. taxifolia.</p> <p>The specimen Glaziou 19216 at P has the following annotation “ Minas Gerais Serra do Inficionado, prés Caraça dans le campo”. John Julis Wurdack (1921–1998) pointed out in a handwritten label attached to the sheet: “seems to be the same collection of Schreiner- Schwacke 6987 from BR; probably, this specimen is an isotype of M. schreinerii ”. We agree with Wurdack that this specimen is a duplicate of Schwacke 6987 and consider this number an isolectotype. Probably this represents more erroneous data from Glaziou collections (see Wurdack 1970). The type material of M. taxifolia matches M. schreinerii and is considered here as a synonym.</p> <p>Microlicia taxifolia is a shrub ca. 50 cm tall with branches, leaves, hypanthium, and sepals covered with a dense indumentum of spherical glands. The leaves are discolorous, ascending with a short petiole 0.5–1.3 mm long. The leaf blades are oblong-lanceolate (10–15 × 1.5–2 mm) with slightly acute to obtuse apices, attenuate bases, entire margins, and a prominent central vein. The flowers have short pedicels 0.7–1 mm long, cylindrical and slightly costate hypanthium, triangular to linear sepals, shorter than the hypanthium length, and pink petals. The dimorphic stamens have ovate-oblong and polysporangiate anthers with a short beak and ventral appendages prolonged on both stamen whorls.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E3D87C6FFC9FFE37790F9C5FF5FFDD1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Therefore, we conclude this sheet is part of the original material of M. variolosa, according to Article 9.3 (Turland et al. 2018). This publication automatically established the corresponding autonym M. variolosa var. variolosa according to Article 26.3 (Turland et al. 2018). Since De Candolle (1828) did not mention any original material for the autonym, and this sheet matches the description, we designate Martius (M0165720) as the lectotype (Articles 9.2 and 26.2). De Candolle (1828) provided to M. variolosa var. glabra a list of binomials handwritten by Schrank &amp; Martius on sheets at M [(R. elachistophylla, Cochobambae, alternans, et variolosa Schrank et Mart ! (v.s. in h. Mart!)]. There is a sheet at G (G00310286) with a fragment of a branch and a short description of M. variolosa var. glabra handwritten by De Candolle. This fragment is inside an envelope with the following annotations: Rhexia variolosa, Brazil, Martius, 1827. However, we believe this fragment is part of the Haenke collection deposited at M (M0165720), and this label is a possible mistake since there is no record of M. variolosa for Brazil. Therefore, we consider it a homotypic synonym of M. variolosa. Cogniaux (1883) also indicated Haenke as original material of M. peruviana, and we synonymize it here under M. variolosa.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E3D87C6FFCBFFE37790FD68FC9BFA38	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Mart.). In the protologue of M. vestita, De Candolle (1828) explicitly reported he described this species based on a sheet of Rhexia vestita Schr. et Mart. ! (mss.) from Martius herbarium. We assume this manuscript refers to the handwritten description by Schrank attached on the left side of the sheet. Thus, we conclude that this is the holotype and that the other sheet that does not have the handwritten description is the isotype. In the label attached to the sheet is annotated Minas Gerais, but in the description of Schrank and Martius also attached to the sheet is mentioned “Vila de Caitité, Rio de Contas, and Serra de Sincorá”, all localities from Bahia state. There is only one record to Pernambuco (Naudin 1849), although no recent collection is known for this state. Historical and recent collections are known only from Goiás state.</p> <p>Since there are three sheets from Gardner 2852 at P, and one belonged to E. Drake’s herbarium (P02297740) donated to P (see Bureau 1904; Le Bras et al. 2017), we designated as lectotype of M. gardneri the sheet with a detailed description and drawing made by Naudin.The morphological features used to describe M. gardneri and M. vestita var. densifolia are variations on the typical form, insufficient to recognize them as distinct taxa from M. vestita; therefore, we propose them as synonyms of M. vestita.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E3D87C6FFCBFFED7790FA50FDFBFEF1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
