Typification

When Krapovickas and Fryxell (2004) described H. saddii , the holotype was simply stated to be preserved at R, however, we located three sheets at R. The three sheets all have the same label with Krapovickas’ handwriting ‘holotype’, the first sheet has an original specimen label and the subsequent two sheets have copies of this label. The barcode numbers associated with these sheets also indicate that these are part of a single ‘specimen’ as the subsequent sheets are designated ‘a’ and ‘b’ respectively. We therefore accept the holotype as being mounted on three sheets, representing three preparations of a single specimen (Art. 8.3; Turland et al. 2018).
