Sabdariffa moxicoensis (Baker f.) Mwachala & R.L.Barrett View in CoL , comb. nov.

Hibiscus moxicoensis Baker f., J. Bot. View in CoL 77: 21 (1939). Type: Angola: Moxico: River Luena, near Vila Luzo , ~ 1240 m, 4 May 1937, A.W. Exell & F. A . Mendonça 1599 (lecto (here designated): BM 000554369 ; isolecto: BM 000554370 , COI 00005093 About COI ) .

Descriptions and illustrations

Baker (1939, p. 21); Wilson (1999, p. 71, fig. 3e); Leistner (2008, p. 115).

Typification

Baker (1939) cited material at BM and COI as the type, therefore a lectotype needs to be selected. We here designate BM 000554369 as the label states that this is the type and a copy of the protologue is attached to this sheet, both of which are absent from the other sheet at BM.

Distribution

Moxico, Angola.
