Typification

Wilson (1999, p. 53) designated a lectotype for Hibiscus rostellatus at P, stating, “The label on the sheet from P reads as follows: ‘Herbarium Richard [red ink] Hibiscus rostellatus Nob. afigurer [black ink] Senegal, Perottet [red ink]’. Additional sheets at BM and G were considered isolectotypes. Further examination of digital images of these, and additional sheets at the same institutions, shows that more than one collection is involved. The lectotype is accepted here but not the ‘isolectotypes’. An additional sheet at P is accepted as an isolectotype. Leistner (2008, p. 115) lists Welwitsch 5243 (BM, K) as the type but there is no direct evidence that this is original material.

Distribution
