ABSTRACT

A check-list of the types of Poaceae at the herbarium of the Institute of Botany, São Paulo, Brazil (SP) are presented, totalizing 206 specimens and 108 taxa (103 species, two subspecies, and three varieties). Regarding the categories of types, 23 are holotypes, 73 are isotypes, 109 are paratypes, and one is a sintype. Seven type materials pointed in literature as being at the herbarium SP were not found or had an uncertain status.

Key words: Gramineae, herbarium, Poaceae, typification.

RESUMO

É apresentada a lista dos materiais tipo de Poaceae depositados no herbário do Instituto de Botânica, São Paulo, Brasil (SP), num total de 206 espécimes, e 108 táxons (103 espécies, duas subspecies e três variedades). Quanto às categorias de tipos, 23 são holótipos, 73 são isótipos, 109 são parátipos e um é um síntipo. Sete materiais-tipo citados na literatura como depositados em SP não foram localizados, ou seu status foi considerado incerto.

Palavras-chave: Gramineae, herbário, Poaceae, tipificação.

Introduction

A previous list of the types of the Phanerogams of the São Paulo State Herbarium (SP), Instituto de Botânica, São Paulo, Brazil, was published by Mamede (1996), but only eight type collections of Poaceae were mentioned (p. 233). Aditional sources of information about types at the SP herbarium, besides the original descriptions, are the works of Hoehne (1937, 1951) where four types of grasses are listed.

During 35 years of intensive research on grasses, the first author found many other type collections that were not referred in the previous types lists. The whole list with 206 type collections is presented here with comments.

Results and Discussion

The complete list of types of Poaceae housed at the herbarium SP comprises 108 taxa: 103 species, two subspecies and three varieties. Regarding the categories of types, 23 are holotypes, 73 are isotypes, 109 are paratypes, and one is a sintype. Most of the taxa (91) are from Brazil, and only 17 came from other countries. Seven type materials pointed in the literature as being at SP were not found, or their status was regarded as uncertain. The list is presented below.

Types housed at SP:

Types not found at SP or with uncertain status:

Andropogon crispifolius

Guala & Filg., Nord. J. Bot. 15(1): 59, fig. 1. 1995. TYPE: BRAZIL. GOIÁS: Mineiros, Parque Nacional das Emas, ca. 10 km NE of the park headquarters, vicinity of Rio Jacuba, 27-V-1992,

T.S. Filgueiras 2304

(holotype IBGE, isotype SP?).

Despite Guala & Filgueiras (1995) pointed out an isotype at SP, we are unable to found it. There is a sheet of this species, at the herbarium SP, with the indication of isotype on its label, but the label also points 2305 as collector number, instead of 2304.

Arthoropogon filifolius

Filg., Bradea 3(21): 151, fig. 1. 1981. TYPE: BRAZIL. DISTRITO FEDERAL: Brasília, Estação Florestal "Cabeça do Veado", 15-IX-1980,

T.S. Filgueiras 671

(holotype IBGE, isotype SP?).

Despite Filgueiras (1981) cited an isotype of this species at SP, the sheet at SP annotated as isotype is T.S. Filgueiras 761, instead of 671. At this moment it is not possible to know whether it is only a misprint.

Merostachys latifolia

R.W. Pohl, Novon 2(2): 88, fig. 3. 1992. TYPE: NICARAGUA. JINOTEGA, s.d.,

W.D. Stevens & J. Henrich 20418

(holotype ISC, isotype SP?).

Davidse & Pohl (1992) indicated that there is an isotype of Merostachys latifolia R.W. Pohl at SP, but we are unable to find it.

Merostachys skvortzovii

Send., Novon 5(1): 94, fig. 10. 1995. TYPE: BRAZIL. PARANÁ: Palmas, road Palmas-Ponte Serrado, 5-XII-1971,

G. Hatschbach et al. 28267

(paratype SP?).

There are at SP many sheets which are types of Merostachys skvortzovii Send., but no duplicates of the material G. Hatschbach et al. 28267 were found, despite this was informed by Sendulsky (1995).

Olyra hoehnei

Pilger, Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. 18: 122. 1922. (=

Radiella esenbeckii

(Steud.) C.E. Calderon & Soderstr.). TYPE: BRAZIL. MINAS GERAIS: Serra do Caraça, I-1921,

F.C. Hoehne s.n.

(holotype SP5031).

Although Hoehne (1951) indicated even the registration number of this type, the herbarium material is probably lost.

Panicum cipoense

Renvoize & Send., Kew Bull. 35(1): 229, fig. 1. 1980. TYPE: BRAZIL. MINAS GERAIS: Serra do Cipó, 3-XII-1949,

A.P. Duarte 1999

(paratype SP?).

There is a holotype and some paratypes of this species at SP, but the sheet A.P. Duarte 1999 was not found, despite the information given by Renvoize & Sendulsky (1980).

Streptostachys rigidifolia

Filg., Morrone & Zuloaga, Novon 3(3): 252, fig. 1-3. 1993. TYPE: BRAZIL. MARANHÃO: Loreto, BR 230 road to São Raimundo das Mangabeiras, ca. 22 km from São Raimundo, º56'S, 45º19'W, 13-IV-1988,

L.B. Bianchetti etal. 634

(holotype CEN, isotype SP?).

An isotype of this species is pointed for SP by Filgueiras et al. (1993b) but we were unable to find it.
