A new combination in Glandularia (Verbenaceae) from Brazil, with insights on Vellozo’s Florae Fluminensis
摘要
While studying Vellozo’s Verbenaceae names in Floræ Fluminensis, the name Verbena cunha Vell. was suspected to be the oldest name for a species usually identified as Verbena phlogiflora Cham./Glandularia phlogiflora (Cham.) Schnack & Covas. An expedition was made to observe and collect specimens in the most likely type locality, given the interpretation of the original locality in São Paulo. As a result, a new combination, Glandularia cunha, is provided. This taxonomic novelty is presented along with typification, nomenclatural and taxonomic notes, photographs and a distribution map.
