Abstract: Sabdariffa torrei (Baker f.) Mwachala & R.L.Barrett, comb. nov. Hibiscus torrei Baker f., J. Bot. 75: 101 (1937). Type: Mozambique: Niassa, Vila Cabral, July 1934, A.R. da Torre 435 (lecto: COI 00005068; isolecto: BM 000645520, BM 000645521, COI 00005069, G, K 000240670, LMA 0020554 -0, LMA 0020554-1). Descriptions and illustrations Baker (1937, p. 101); Wilson (1999, p. 59, fig. 1g). Typification Baker (1937, p. 101) specifies ‘ Type in Herb. Conim., specimen in Herb. Mus. Brit.’ but the location of duplicates precludes the acceptance of a holotype. We here designate COI 00005068 as lectotype as this is an ample specimen with an original label and descriptive working notes attached. Distribution Northern Mozambique, possibly extending into Tanzania.
