Abstract: Sabdariffa adscensionis (Fryxell & Krapov.) M.C. Duarte & Yoshikawa, comb. nov. (Fig. 7 e, f.) Hibiscus adscensionis Fryxell & Krapov., Novon 14: 58, fig. 1 (2004). Type: Bolivia: Santa Cruz: prov. Ñuflo de Chavez, Ascención de Guarayos, 15°40′S, 63°5′W, 26 Apr. 1977, A.Krapovickas A.A. Schinini 31722 (lecto, here designated: CTES 3775 B [0001521!]; isolecto: CTES 3775 A [0001520!], LPB 0000730!, NY 00021175!, TEX 00208154!). Descriptions and illustrations Fryxell and Krapovickas (2004, pp. 58–59, fig. 1); Krapovickas and Fryxell (2004, pp. 102–103). Typification Fryxell and Krapovickas cited Krapovickas & Schinini 31722 held at CTES as the holotype of Hibiscus adscensionis. However, this gathering comprises two specimens with separate herbarium accession numbers and barcodes. Therefore, these specimens represent syntypes rather than the holotype and the name is lectotypified here. We selected CTES 3775B (barcode 0001521) over CTES 3775A (barcode 0001520) by the presence of an open flower, showing the disposition of stamens, an important trait to identify some groups within Hibiscus and Sabdariffa. Distribution Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
