13 and /4 collections could not be studied. For the moment it would be right to select Linden 78 
as the lectotype, since duplicates are found in other herbaria besides BR, the home herbarium of 
Linden collections. The presence of secondary domatia in some leaves, and glabrous lower leaf 
surfaces in Bourgeau 2436 (the type collection of Phoebe barbeyana), along with the study of 
several fruiting material from the area allowed the identification of these specimens as 
conspecific with Phoebe effusa.
