Notes.

It is believed that part of Kraenzlin’s herbarium was destroyed during the bombing of the Berlin Herbarium ( Butzin 1978, 1980, 1981), and no original material of Kraenzlin’s Vanilla preussii has been located in his private orchid collection at HBG ( Christenson 1994; Schultz 2013, 2015). Since no original material is available for lectotypification, designating a neotype could be a suitable decision. However, no flowering material from Guatemala that matches the protologue of Vanilla preussii has been located.
