Abstract

The present study concerns Brazilian specimens that Carl Martius sent to Luigi Colla in 1827 and from which Colla described 31 new species in volume II of Herbarium Pedemontanum in 1834. The original material examined by Colla (now held at TO) was found and compared with duplicates held elsewhere. Material was located at TO for all but six of the taxa described by Colla. Eleven hitherto unresolved species names are here clarified, along with ten new synonymies and 12 proposed lectotypifications. Based on the collecting localities and comparison mainly with specimens at Herbarium Martii at BR, at least 18 of the specimens distributed by Martius can be confirmed as collections made by Prince Maximilian zu Wied.
