In this mail vote the proposal received 74 ‘no’ votes (47%) out of 156 votes cast. This meant that the proposal was not automatically rejected and that it would be put to a vote, following discussion, at the Nomenclature Section of the XX<sup>th</sup> International Botanical Congress that was held in Madrid, Spain, from 15 to 19 July 2024. We document the process and results of the voting on this proposal during the preliminary guiding vote, as well as during the Nomenclature Section.</p> Gideon F.

This herbarium is made up of four bound volumes containing a total of 988 plants, for which the scientific name is provided. It has not been possible to establish with certainty the origin, the date of its creation or the botanist or botanists who contributed to its preparation. It was likely acquired from an intermediary or unknown botanist during the period when its owner was imperial ambassador in Venice and Rome, between 1539 and 1554, and that the plants it contains are of Italian origin.</p> Carlos Aedo, Mauricio Velayos Copyright (c) 2025 Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://rjb.revistas.csic.es/index.php/rjb/article/view/625 Mon, 30 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0100 Typification of three Linnaean names in the genus Euphorbia (Euphorbiaceae) https://rjb.revistas.csic.es/index.php/rjb/article/view/622 <p>The lectotypification of four Linnaean names in the genus <em>Euphorbia</em>: <em>E. exigua</em>, <em>E. exigua</em> var. <em>acuta</em>, <em>E. paralias</em>, and <em>E. segetalis</em> is discussed. The designation of the nomenclatural types is based on the consultation of Linnaeus’s original material and the literature cited in the respective protologues. The name <em>E. exigua</em> had previously been “lectotypified” by Jafri &amp; El-Gadi in 1982 on a specimen kept in LINN. However, Linnaeus cited in the protologue a specimen from the Joachim Burser Herbarium, currently preserved at UPS-BURSER. According to the ICN (International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants), this is a syntype which must be chosen as the lectotype. The name <em>E. exigua</em> var. <em>acuta</em> is lectotypified using a specimen preserved in the Clifford Herbarium at BM and is treated in this paper as a heterotypic synonym of <em>E. exigua</em> var. <em>exigua</em>. The name <em>E. paralias</em> had previously been “lectotypified” by Geltman in 2015 (repeated in 2020) on a specimen kept in S-LINN. However, this specimen is not original material for the name. The lectotype of <em>E. paralias</em> is designated in this paper from a specimen preserved at S-LINN according to the ICN. Finally, the name <em>E. segetalis</em> is lectotypified using a Morison illustration.</p> P.

This species is a plant endemic to the Canary Islands, traditionally known as <em>Maytenus canariensis</em>. A lectotype is designated for this name using a specimen preserved in the herbarium BM, collected by Francis Masson in the Canary Islands in 1778.</p> P.
