Abstract

The lectotypification of six names of species, originally described as Evelyna Lind. (Orchidaceae), based on collections of Jean Jules Linden from locations that are currently in Venezuela and Colombia, is proposed. We also provide the number and location of duplicates of the type material.

Keywords: Elleanthus; Evelyna; Jean Jules Linden; lectotype; nomenclature; syntype.
