Abstract

Confusion about type status of the collections Stolz 640 and Stolz 2508, both described by Schlechter, have arisen because the epithet stolzii was used by Schlechter himself on labels of the type collection of Angraceum parcum Schltr. I here clarify which are the type collections of A. parcum Schltr. and A. stolzii Schltr. and designate lectotypes for these species.
