During ongoing taxonomic studies in the genus Citharexylum (Verbenaceae), twenty names were found in need of typification or typification clarifications. Fourteen names ( C. andinum , C. herrerae , C. ilicifolium , C. kunthianum , C. laetum , C. myrianthum var. acuminatum , C. myrianthum var. rigidum , C. pernambucense , C. poeppigii , C. quercifolium , C. solanaceum , C. solanaceum var. macrocalyx , C. surrectum and C. weberbaueri ) are here lectotypified, and epitypes are selected for three names ( C . herrerae , C. kunthianum and C . pernambucense ). Neotypes are designated for the names C . berteroi , C . broadwayi and C . coriaceum . Furthermore, updates and supporting information for three names already typified by Harold Moldenke ( C . macrochlamys , C . punctatum and C . subthyrsoideum ) are provided.
