Abstract
SummaryThe specimen of Martynia annua [Houstoun in Martyn] L. in the Linnaean herbarium does not correspond with the original description of that species but is instead a specimen of Proboscidea louisianica (Miller) Thellung. Examination of the nomenclatural history of these two species, which are the type species of the genera Martynia and Proboscidea, indicates that the names can be maintained in their current usage. No type specimens were indicated by the describing authors, but illustrations provided by them can serve as lectotypes.
