38.Drymaria ovataWilld. in Roem. & Schult., Syst. Veg. 5: 406. 1819. Type. Ecuador. Quito, [1802], A. von Humboldt & A. J. A. Bonpland s. n. (holotype: P [P 00274219!]; isotype: P [P 00335772!]). Distribution. Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina. Notes. The specimens deposited in P with the label “ Herbier Humboldt & Bonpland ” come from Bonpland’s private collection. According to Stauffer et al. (2012), these are to be considered holotypes. In the case of Drymaria ovata, there are two specimens at P representing original material. The one with the barcode “ P 00274219 ” bears the label “ Herbier Humboldt & Bonpland ” and represents the holotype. For the same reason as with Drymaria arenarioides, authorship of Drymaria ovata should be attributed to Willdenow (see Turland et al. (2018), art. 46.3 example 15).
