Disclosed Identity and Neotypification of Echinocactus lophothele(Cactaceae)
Abstract
The identity between Echinocactus lophothele and Echinocactus rinconensis was ascertained from the correspondence of Salm-Dyck with Engelmann, and from a letter of Poselger to Weber. There are no surviving contemporary preserved specimens and no illustrations accompanied the protologue; therefore, the neotype for E. lophothele is designated here.
