Ceratozamia mirandae Vovides, Pérez-Farr. & Iglesias [IPNI] [POWO] [MO]

First published in: Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 137(1): 81-85, figs. 1-2. (2001).

Etymology: Honoring Faustino Miranda (1905–1964), researcher of the flora of Chiapas, Mexico. [source]

Nomenclature notes: As 'mirandai'
Nomenclatural Type Information
Collector and Number: J. De La Cruz R. 66
Locality: Mexico: Chiapas: Sierra Madre de Chiapas , 20 Sep 1997
Type Location(s): HT:CHIP; IT:MEXU
Type notes: The isotypes cited in the protologue were designated ineffectively as they were not collected from the same gathering (Art. 8.2, Turland et al., 2018). Martínez Domínguez et al. (in PhytoKeys 208: 60. 2022) designated the isotype De La Cruz Rodríguez 66 (MEXU) as the lectotype with the following justification: "Because no holotype of C. mirandae has been found in CHIP, despite intensive searches, we designate the uncited isotype found in MEXU as the lectotype". However, Haynes 2023 (in Phytotaxa 612(2): 161) reports that "the holotype exists and is deposited at CHIP" and provides photographic documentation of its existence (Fig.2, p. 162). Therefore, as the holotype has now been found to exist, the lectotype designated by Martínez et al. (2022) is superseded (Art. 9.19a, Turland et al., 2018).

Distribution: Mexico (Chiapas)

IUCN Red List Conservation Status: Endangered B1ab(iii,v); C1

Location Privacy Notice: This map is provided to show a rough estimate of the distribution of this species based on georeferenced localities on the WLoC database. The points may not be comprehensive of the species distribution and may contain errors. To protect the precise locations of populations of this highly threatened plant group, coordinates displayed on this map have been denatured to 0.1 degree precision (approximately 11 km accuracy). Map zoom levels are also limited for conservation purposes.
