Review of Vellozo’s Bignoniaceae: synonym detected, historical localities interpreted, and new lectotypes designated, plus epitypifications

A comprehensive overview of the Bignoniaceae described in Floræ Fluminensis is provided, and all names received a careful analysis. This review includes three interpretations of original collection localities and an illustrated explanation of the differences between the collections of illustrations. Besides, each name was re-evaluated and received comments on its distribution and/or original collection location, as well as nomenclatural and taxonomic notes. Here, we propose 41 new lectotypes, two new epitypes, one new synonym, and two new orthographic variants that were recognized.
