Abstract

Recommendations on the proper typification of names published in Vellozo’s Florae Fluminensis are provided, using as examples the friar’s published names for taxa of Eriocaulaceae, Polygalaceae and Violaceae, which were based on specimens that likely originated in the municipality of Cunha, in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. We designate as lectotypes illustrations from the unpublished iconography of Florae Fluminensis, preserved at the Biblioteca Nacional in Rio de Janeiro for the previously untypified names Polygala bonavisio, P. quinqueangularis, P. multicaulis, P. glandulosa, Viola diffusa and V. exigua. We also illuminate parallel illustrations from an incomplete copy of the iconography housed at the Torre do Tombo (Lisbon) but conclude that the materials in Biblioteca Nacional are in general more accurate in their depictions, and thus preferred as lectotypes. When needed, epitypes are chosen from specimens collected in the region of Vellozo’s likely type localities in order to assist proper application of his names. Besides typifications, taxonomic notes on Vellozo’s taxa and photographs of them in the field are provided.
