Descriptions and illustrations

Gürke (1892, p. 559, tab. 110, fig. l); Gottsberger (1972, pp. 468–475, fig. 22–24); Krapovickas and Fryxell (2004, p. 60, fig. 5); Coutinho and Fernandes-Júnior (2024).

Typification

When Gürke described H. henningsianus he indicated the type as J.B.E. Pohl 1256 but did not indicate a single herbarium, therefore all original material represents syntypes. Krapovickas and Fryxell (2004) published a first-step lectotypification, selecting the specimen at W. However, the material at W comprises two sheets with distinct barcodes. Therefore, we designate the specimen with W barcode 0066239 as a second-step lectotype (ICN Art. 9, Turland et al. 2018) as this is the best material.
