Typification of names in the genus Duranta (Duranteae, Verbenaceae)

Abstract

During the taxonomic revision of the genus Duranta, seventeen names were identified to need typification. All related herbaria and different literature concerning each name were studied. As a result twelve lectotypes, one epitype and four neotypes are designated here, which will contribute to stabilize the nomenclatural framework of the genus. Notes about typifications are provided.
