Note:— Most of Stuhlmann’s collections were destroyed in the 1943 Berlin herbarium fire (Hiepko 1987). We designated as neotype a well preserved collection, found in the K herbarium, from the same locality as that of the presumably destroyed original collection. | Published as part of Muñoz-Rodríguez, Pablo, Cardiel, José María & Atha, Daniel, 2014, Acalypha subgenus Linostachys (Euphorbiaceae, Acalyphoideae): a global review, pp. 199-221 in Phytotaxa 166 (3) on page 207, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.166.3.2, zenodo.org/record/5138433
