Type.

BRAZIL – São Paulo • Guapira, Wald, epiphytisch ; 27 Apr. 1913; A. C. Brade 7573; holotype: B †; lectotype (designated here): HB! [ HB 8087 ] .

Notes.

The species was originally determined as a novelty by Rudolf Schlechter. It was formally described after Schlechter’s death by R. Mansfeld (1928), upon Brade’s request. Schlechter’s herbarium, including the type of V. bradei , was destroyed during the bombing of the Berlin Herbarium ( Butzin 1978, 1980, 1981). Our revision revealed a well-conserved yet sterile isotype at HB, which we hereby select as lectotype.
