Mikania pellucidivenia Hieron., Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 36: 474 (1905). Types: ‗Peruvia: crescit prope Tambillo (J.[elski]
n. 600, 10. m. Aug. 1878; n. 642, 13. m. Aug. 1878).‘
Mikania monzonensis Hieron., Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 40: 391 (1908). Type: ‗Peruvia: habitat prope Monzon, dep.
Huanaco, prov. Huamalies, alt. s. m. 900–1000 m, in silvis raris fruticetisque (A. WEBERBAUER n. 3430; 23.

Mikania hexagona B. L. Rob., Proc. Amer. Acad. Arts 47: 196 (1911) = Mikania microptera DC.
Mikania hookeriana DC., Prodr. 5: 195 (1836). Type: ‗Z? in Guianâ. ... (v.s. in h. Lindl. à cl. Hooker comm.)‘.
Note: There is one specimen in G-DC (fragments – one leaf and a small part of an inflorescence). Rather
surprisingly Holmes (1990: 17) has equated this with Schomburgk 479 and cited the fragmentary specimen in
G-DC as the holotype, with a duplicate in K. There are two duplicates of this Schomburgk collection in K, one
ex herb. Benthamianum, the other ex herb. Hookerianum, and both are clearly marked Schomburgk 1837, the
former on a script label, the other written on the sheet itself. This coincides with Schomburgk‘s expeditions
to ‗British Guiana‘ and were probably collected in 1837 (rather than distributed then), one year after the
publication of de Candolle‘s Prodromus volume 5. It is also worth noting comments in Bentham‘s first paper
on Schomburgk‘s plants (Ann. Nat. Hist. 2(8): 105–111. Oct. 1838) covering part of the Compositae.
Schomburgk 479 is mentioned alongside ‗Mikania Hookeriana. DC. Prod. 5. p. 195.‘ (p. 109). Bentham
enumerated Schomburgk‘s Compositae collections following the volume five of the Prodromus. It is highly
unlikely that Schomburgk material was used to describe this species. Type material may well exist in CGE.
Robinson & Holmes (2008: 244) cited the holotype, by an unknown collector, as in K, with a fragment in G-
DC.
Mikania badieri DC., Prodr. 5: 194 (1836). Type: ‗LZ in Guadalupâ legit olim Badier [137]; an fortè etiam in
Jamaicâ si Eupat. houstonis Swartz obs. p. 300 huc referendum. ... (v.s.)‘. The Badier material is in G-DC.
*Mikania platyphylla DC., Prodr. 5: 195 (1836). Type: ‗Z in Peruviâ? ex coll. Poeppig [2184]. ... (v.s. comm. à cl.
inv.)‘. Holotype: G-DC.
Mikania imrayana Griseb., Fl. Brit. W. I. : 363 (1861). Type: ‗HAB. Dominica!, Imr[ay].‘ Holotype: K; isotype/s:
K ?2. Note: the material that is supposedly the holotype (ex Herb. Hookerianum) bears a label in part by
Imray, but completed with the specific epithet by Grisebach. There are two potential isotypes in K, one
clearly an Imray collection, numbered ‗111‘ on the sheet itself, and a second sheet bears a label apparently
written entirely by Grisebach, although purportedly also an Imray collection but without a number. There
is a duplicate of Imray 52 in GOET.

Mikania badieri DC. var. kittsiana Urb., Symb. Antill. 5(2): 220 (May 1907). Type: ‗Hab. in St. Kitt‘s in
faucibus sylvaticis ad Belmont, m. Sept. – Oct. fl. et fr.: Britton et Cowell n. 385.‘ Holotype: ?US (419943);
isotypes: K, ?NY (00126671). Note: Holmes (1990: 17) indicated that the holotype was in US, but later
Robinson & Holmes (2008: 244) cited the holotype as in NY and an isotype in US.
Mikania vitrea B. L. Rob., Contr. Gray Herb. 61: 22 (1920). Type: ‗VENEZUELA: Colonia Tovar in the State of
Aragua, alt. 1983 m., August Fendler, no. 2349‘. Holotype: GH (10508); isotypes: G, K, PH.
