Updated list of nomenclatural types of the “Dr. Alberto Alonso Triana” Herbarium
Main Article Content
Abstract
The collection of the “Alberto Alonso Triana” Herbarium currently contains more than 50,000 specimens that are a source of consultation for the writing of the Flora of the Republic of Cuba. With the objective of updating the figures and correcting in some cases the types present in this herbarium, they are listed in the present work. The update was made from the critical revision of the previously published compared with the physical specimens present in the collection and the incorporation of the types of the names published later. The names of 76 nomenclatural types present in the collection are presented, 18 taxa more than previously known. The number of exsiccata representing nomenclatural types increased to 105 with respect to previous works, of which seven are holotypes, illustrated in the paper, 95 isotypes, one epitype, one isoepitype and one paratype. The nomenclatural types represent 30 families, 58 genera and 76 infrageneric taxa of the flora of Cuba. The validity of the publication of Cyperus violifolius was recognized and the correct names of the taxa cited as nomenclatural types in the present work were listed.
