03B30773FFA5FFA1A6CF8DCD193BFD35.taxon	materials_examined	Type: A. sericifera Brotero (1817: 62; t. 4 – 5).	en	Rapini, Alessandro, Pereira, Jorge Fontella, Goyder, David J. (2011): Towards a stable generic circumscription in Oxypetalinae (Apocynaceae). Phytotaxa 26: 9-16, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.26.1.2, URL: http://biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/view/phytotaxa.26.1.2
03B30773FFA6FFA1A6CF8BC41CFDFB67.taxon	description	Note: — Since the species was described in honour of E. Hassler, we opted to choose the material collected by him as the lectotype of this name. In addition, there is some question about the second syntype: it was cited as Fiebrig 1404 in the protologue, but the specimen at G is clearly labelled as Fiebrig 1484.	en	Rapini, Alessandro, Pereira, Jorge Fontella, Goyder, David J.

03B30773FFA6FFA1A6CF8CC518EFFABC.taxon	description	Note: — Since the holotype at B was destroyed, we here designate the isotype at W as the lectotype of this name.	en	Rapini, Alessandro, Pereira, Jorge Fontella, Goyder, David J. (2011): Towards a stable generic circumscription in Oxypetalinae (Apocynaceae). Phytotaxa 26: 9-16, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.26.1.2, URL: http://biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/view/phytotaxa.26.1.2
03B30773FFA6FFA1A6CF8DA01DB3F887.taxon	materials_examined	Note: — Goyder (2003: 716) suggested M. intermedia might be a hybrid between M. odorata and M. brachystephana, based on the comments made by Meyer (1950). However, he had at the time not seen the type. Having now examined type material at LIL, we are able to resolve the identity of this plant. There are two sheets with the number Meyer 13845 housed at LIL, one with a flowering specimen, which matches the description of M. odorata, and a fruiting specimen, which does not. We have chosen the sheet with the flowering specimen as lectotype to fix the application of this name.	en	Rapini, Alessandro, Pereira, Jorge Fontella, Goyder, David J.

03B30773FFA7FFA0A6CF8A4D1CC4F9B7.taxon	materials_examined	Type: O. banksii Schultes (1820: 91).	en	Rapini, Alessandro, Pereira, Jorge Fontella, Goyder, David J. (2011): Towards a stable generic circumscription in Oxypetalinae (Apocynaceae). Phytotaxa 26: 9-16, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.26.1.2, URL: http://biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/view/phytotaxa.26.1.2
03B30773FFA7FFA0A6CF8A4D1CC4F9B7.taxon	description	Besides confirming the inclusion of Amblyopetalum, Bustelma and Dactylostelma in the synonymy of Oxypetalum, phylogenetic studies of plastid regions (Rapini et al. 2003, Liede-Schumann et al. 2005) also showed Schistogyne nested in core Oxypetalum, closely related to O. banksii. To become monophyletic, Oxypetalum must include Schistogyne. Below, we provide the combinations for the eight accepted species of Schistogyne in Oxypetalum, designate lectotypes for three species and indicate a new synonym.	en	Rapini, Alessandro, Pereira, Jorge Fontella, Goyder, David J.

03B30773FFA0FFA7A6CF891E1C43FE70.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — The new name of this species honours C. W. Herman Karsten who recognised it as distinct from the rest of the material identified by Decaisne (1844) as Schistogyne sylvestris.	en	Rapini, Alessandro, Pereira, Jorge Fontella, Goyder, David J. (2011): Towards a stable generic circumscription in Oxypetalinae (Apocynaceae). Phytotaxa 26: 9-16, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.26.1.2, URL: http://biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/view/phytotaxa.26.1.2

03B30773FFA0FFA7A6CF8D3B19D4F835.taxon	description	Bullock (1958: 99) was presumably unaware of Meyer’s typification when he designated T. macrolepis Hooker & Arnott (1834: 291) as type of the genus. Rua (1989) argued that Bullock's designation was arbitrary and therefore contrary to the code (although this does not stand up to scrutiny, and was a superfluous designation in any case). Rua selected T. birostrata (Hooker & Arnott 1830: 35) Hooker & Arnott (1834: 291), which Ezcurra (1999: 75) then followed in Flora Patagonica. The earliest designation is that of Meyer (1944) and must be adopted.	en	Rapini, Alessandro, Pereira, Jorge Fontella, Goyder, David J.
