The typification of 14 Linnaean names is revised. Previous lectotypifications based on Burman?s illustrations in Plantarum americanarum must be superseded since those elements were not available to Linnaeus before the publication of the first edition of Species plantarum. As a result, twelve Linnaean names, Bellonia aspera, Bucephalon racemosum, Columnea scandens, Cupania americana, Mentzelia aspera, Ovieda spinosa, Renealmia paniculata, Rondeletia americana, Thalia geniculata, Tillandsia serrata, Tournefortia hirsutissima and Tournefortia humilis, are hereby typified based on original material currently held at the Library of the Rijksuniversiteit in Groningen, The Netherlands, whereas a drawing included in Plumier?s Nova plantarum americanarum genera is selected as lectotype of the name Alpinia racemosa. In addition, supporting information about the type material of a name already typified by Robert Kiger (Samyda guidonia) is provided.
