Typification

Fryxell and Krapovickas cited Krapovickas & Schinini 31722 held at CTES as the holotype of Hibiscus adscensionis . However, this gathering comprises two specimens with separate herbarium accession numbers and barcodes. Therefore, these specimens represent syntypes rather than the holotype and the name is lectotypified here. We selected CTES 3775B (barcode 0001521) over CTES 3775A (barcode 0001520) by the presence of an open flower, showing the disposition of stamens, an important trait to identify some groups within Hibiscus and Sabdariffa .
