INTRODUCTION
Cranichideae (Lindl.) Endl. (Orchidaceae) was estab-
lished by Endlicher in 1842 and is currently circumscribed to
comprise six subtribes (Cranichidinae Lindl., Galeottiellinae
Salazar & M.W. Chase, Goodyerinae Klotzsch, Manniellinae
Schltr., Pterostylidinae Pfitzer, Spiranthinae Lindl.), with over
600 species widely distributed in tropics, subtropics and tem-
perate zones (Dressler, 1993; Cribb, 2003; Salazar, 2003). In
Brazil, three subtribes are particularly diverse: Cranichidinae,
Goodyerinae, and Spiranthinae.
With 34 currently accepted genera, Goodyerinae are
widely distributed in both the Old and New Worlds, especially
in the tropics and subtropics (Ormerod & Cribb, 2003). The
current taxonomic concepts in Goodyerinae (Garay, 1977;
Ormerod & Cribb, 2003) segregate genera largely based on
column features, especially rostellum structure (Garay, 1977;
Dressler, 1993). However, inclusive phylogenetic studies in this
subtribe are lacking, and the reliability of such characters to
delimit monophyletic groups is yet to be tested. Nonetheless,
here we follow the subtribal delimitation of Goodyerinae of
Dressler (1981) and the generic delimitation of Garay (1977)
and Ormerod & Cribb (2003).
Spiranthinae include about 42 genera and 470 species of
predominantly terrestrial orchids (Chase & al., 2003; Salazar,
2003). This subtribe has two main diversity centers, one in
Mexico and Central America and the other in southern and
southeastern Brazil (Balogh, 1982; Dressler, 1993).
The high biodiversity found in Brazil has attracted many
naturalists in the past four hundred years. The contributions of
two early researchers are particularly important: José Vellozo
Xavier, also known as Friar José Mariano da Conceição Vellozo
(1742–1811), and João Barbosa Rodrigues (1842–1909) (Valle,
1985; Sá, 2001). Vellozo’s Florae Fluminensis was written in
eleven volumes of plates and text, and included 1640 Brazilian
species (Carauta, 1973). The tortuous history of this publica
-
tion has been discussed in depth by Carauta (1969). According
to Carauta (1973), the effective date of publication of Flora
Fluminensis took place in two different moments: (1) the first
and incomplete version of the text, printed in 1829 and (2) in
1831, when the plates were published. Lima (1995) comments
that a second edition, including a complete version of the text,
was published only in 1882. This later edition was published as
the fifth volume of the Arquivos do Museu Nacional, edited by
Ladislau de Souza Mello-Netto, Director of the Museu Nacio-
nal do Rio de Janeiro (Mello-Netto, 1882). Problems regarding
the species published by Vellozo include the absence of vouch-
ers for all of his taxa (Lima, 1995) and rudimentary descrip-
tions and illustrations, sometimes resulting in the identity of the
species being uncertain (see Lima, 1995 for similar observa-
tions regarding species described by Vellozo in Leguminosae).
With support from the Brazilian Empire (Mori & Ferreira,
1987; Sprunger & al., 1996; Sá, 2001), Barbosa Rodrigues pub-
lished a series of botanical, anthropological and natural history
works. Following the practice of his time, Barbosa Rodrigues
(1877, 1882) cited localities and flowering times but did not
designate types for his new orchid species. The watercolors
and drawings he prepared to illustrate his work, which he
planned to publish as “Iconographie des Orchidées du Brésil”
(Barbosa Rodrigues, 1877: 5, footnote) remained unpublished

Abstract
A total of 46 lectotypes, one neotype and one epitype are designated for species of Goodyerinae and Spiranthinae
originally described by José Mariano da Conceição Vellozo and João Barbosa Rodrigues. Moreover, three new previously
accepted names are treated as synonyms.

until Cogniaux reproduced some of them as line drawings in his
orchid treatment for Martius’s Flora Brasiliensis (Cogniaux,
1893–1906). Much later, most of the original drawings and
watercolors (about 370 drawings) were published in color
(Sprunger & al., 1996). The original illustrations prepared by
Barbosa Rodrigues are currently housed at the Rio de Janeiro
Botanical Garden, Brazil (vols. 1–3, 5–6) and at the Orchid
Herbarium of Oakes Ames, Harvard University (vol. 4). It is
generally believed that any voucher specimens for the taxa de-
scribed by Barbosa Rodrigues were destroyed during a tropical
deluge (Cribb & Toscano, 1996; Buzatto & al., 2011).
A thorough review of Brazilian and other herbaria has
not revealed any original Barbosa Rodrigues collection of
terrestrial orchids, with the exception of a pressed specimen
deposited at S (see below). Therefore, in many cases we rely
on Barbosa Rodrigues’s original watercolors of Goodyerinae
and Spiranthinae species for the lectotypification of names
published by him (1877, 1882). These illustrations are part of
volume 1 of his unpublished work deposited at the Biblioteca
Barbosa Rodrigues, part of the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Gar
-
den (JBRJ – Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro), Brazil. Con-
versely, there are good vouchers of terrestrial orchids described
by Barbosa Rodrigues (1877, 1882) based on specimens col-
lected by Anders Fredrik Regnell (1807–1884) and Francisco
Freire Allemão (1797–1874) and these collections are therefore
available for typification purposes
The typifications presented in the following section are
summarized in Table 1.

We herein treat Spiranthes chloroleuca var. fontinalis
and S. chloroleuca var. longipetiolata to be synonyms of Cyclo-
pogon chloroleucus. In Martius’s Flora Brasiliensis, Cogniaux
(1893–1906) treated S. chloroleuca var. fontinalis as a syn-
onym of the so called S. lineata Lindl. (currently Hapalorchis
lineata (Lindl.) Schltr.). This circumscription was followed in
the reproduction of “Iconographie des Orchidées du Brésil” by
Sprunger & al. (1996: 117). However, the features illustrated in
Barbosa Rodrigues’s original watercolor (1877: tab. 64, cited
as tab. 367) and protologue (1877: 182), indicate that this taxon
is referable to Cyclopogon.

lished) in Barbosa Rodrigues (1877: 183), reproduced in
Sprunger & al. (1996: 110, fig. A).
This species was transferred to the genus Hapalorchis
Schltr. (Hoehne, 1945) apparently based on the very small size
of the plant, the petiolated leaves, and the tiny tubular flowers.
This taxonomic placement has been accepted and followed by
subsequent researchers (e.g., Pabst & Dungs, 1975; Barros & al.,
2010). However, we had the opportunity to compare Barbosa
Rodrigues’s original illustrations to live plants collected in lo
-
calities of southern (C.R. Buzatto 739 and 734 & R.B. Singer,
ICN) and south-eastern (R.B. Singer 9865 and 9871, UEC) Bra-
zil and we conclude that this species displays the characteristic
fasciculate roots (as opposed to one or a few non-fascicled roots,
in Hapalorchis) (Fig. 1) and rostellar structure of Cyclopogon.
By examining fresh flowers of this species, we observed (Fig. 2)
that they bear the inequivocal dorsal, wedge-like viscidium
characteristic of Cyclopogon species. The viscidium in Hapal-
orchis is ventral and the rostellum, as a whole, is structured
in a different way (Fig. 2). In addition, Hapalorchis and Cy-
clopogon are unrelated genera, belonging in different clades
(Salazar & Dressler, 2011). Therefore, in our opinion, the name
Cyclopogon micranthus needs to be reinstated.

Rodrigues cited an illustration (“Tabula VII ”) that did not
appear in that publication but only later in the third volume
of Contributions du Jardin Botanique de Rio de Janeiro, as
“Tab. X. Fig. A.” (Barbosa Rodrigues, 1902). In the latter work,
Barbosa Rodrigues (1902) cited a collection from Gavea’s Hill,
near to Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden. A thorough revision
of foreign and Brazilian herbaria has not revealed any original
type material of this particular Barbosa Rodrigues species, and
the neotype designated by Szlachetko & Rutkowsky (2008:
198) is here accepted.

(designated here): Barbosa Rodrigues’s illustration in

(1937: 39).
Barbosa Rodrigues (1937) described Stenorrhynchos
cer aci folium var. cornutus Barb. Rodr., but cited it as “Steno-
rhynchus cornutus” Barb. Rodr. in the figure legend appear-
ing in Rodriguesia 8, tab. XXXVI, fig. B (interpreted here as
an illustration with analysis as per Code, Art. 38.8 and 38.9).
Szlachetko & Rutkowsky (2008: 180) designated the specimen
Zhotsky 1832 (G) as the lectotype of Stenorrhynchos ceracifo-
lium but this proposal is untenable, since this specimen is not
mentioned in the protologue (not even as supplementary mate-
rial) and there is no evidence that Barbosa Rodrigues exam-
ined this particular specimen. Therefore, we propose Barbosa
Rodrigues’s original illustration as the lectotype.

Szlachetko & Rutkowski (2008: 214) designated as lec-
totype a specimen of Allemao 1487 supposedly at B but de-
stroyed, a proposal that is clearly untenable. The specimen
cited by Barbosa Rodrigues at the protologue (Allemao 1487)
is lost and, unlike the other Orchidaceae described by Barbosa
Rodrigues, the plate cited at the protologue (t. 738) was not
published later (Cogniaux, 1904; Sprunger & al., 1996) and is
likely lost. We have carefully checked the original paintings
deposited at Rio de Janeiro and Harvard, as well as the copies
of Barbosa Rodrigues’s watercolors made by Mary Thysselton
Dyer, deposited at K and we couldn’t find this specific plate.
Therefore, we feel confident that this particular plate is either
lost or was not concluded. During our review of the orchid

collections at R (“Musée de Rio de Janeiro” as cited in Barbosa
Rodrigues, 1882: 288) we located a specimen labeled “Sarco-
glottis cearensis B. Rodr.” (R no. 2535) determined by Barbosa
Rodrigues in April 1881, which is here proposed as neotype.
This specimen is in agreement with the protologue and its prov-
enance is also in agreement with this specified at the original
description (Barbosa Rodrigues, 1882).

The original illustration of Serapias biflora (Fl. Flumin.
Icon. 9: tab. 50. 1831) is very rudimentary and not clearly iden

as epitype, considering that this material is quite representative
of the morphological features of this species.

After a careful analysis of Barbosa Rodrigues’s (1901,

sider S. montevidensis a synonym of Skeptrostachys bala-

separate the two species.

NOMEM NUDUM
1. “Spiranthes macuconensis Barb. Rodr.”, “Iconographie des

Note. – Barbosa Rodrigues illustrated this species but
he did not formally describe it in any of his publications.
Cogniaux annotated the original drawing as Pelexia setacea
Lindl. (Barbosa Rodrigues, Icon. Orch. Brésil 1: tab. 66, lower
left corner; see Sprunger & al. 1996: 119), which is currently
referable to Eltroplectris calcarata (Sw.) Garay & H.R. Sweet.
Since this watercolor is not an illustration with analysis (as
established by the Code, Art. 38.9), we consider “Spiranthes
macuconensis” a nomem nudum.

misapplied to Sauroglossum elatum Lindl. However, a revision
of Vellozo’s protologue and illustration (Mello-Netto, 1882)
reveals that this taxon cannot be unequivocally assigned to
Sauroglossum. Whereas Vellozo’s illustration shows lanceolate
leaves overall similar to these of Sauroglossum, the flowers
show acute floral segments wich are absent in this genus. In
addition, Vellozo’s illustration shows flowers with a clearly
pointed, trilobed labellum (obtuse and cochleate in Sauro-
glossum). Overall, the depicted flowers (Fig. 3A–C) are more
similar to those of Pteroglossa (e.g., P. glazoviana) or Eltro
-
plectris. By no means can the flowers illustrated by Vellozo
be considered to belong to a species of Sauroglossum (Fig. 3).
Therefore, we currently propose the exclusion of applying this
name to any known taxon.

(designated here): Vellozo’s original illustration at Manu-
script Section of the Biblioteca Nacional of Rio de Janeiro
(later published in Fl. Flumin. Icon. 9: tab. 56. 1831).
Cyclopogon polyaden has been considered by many to be
the correct name for the species also known as C. chloroleucus
Barb. Rodr. However, a thorough examination of Vellozo’s pro-
tologue and corresponding illustration reveals that this taxon
cannot be confidently considered synonymous with C. chlo
-
roleucus. The illustration of the flowers in the original publi-
cation of Serapias polyaden, the basionym of C. polyaden, is
extremely rudimentary and, whereas the leaves are shown to
be variegated (as in C. chloroleucus), other Cyclopogon species
(e.g., C. calophyllus) display similar leaf shapes and color pat-
terns, making the positive identification of Serapias polyaden
doubtful. Therefore, we currently propose the exclusion of ap
-
plying this name to any known taxon.
