Summary Of 762 new species described by Ducke ten belong to the genera Thiloa, Ramatuella and Buchenavia ( Combretaceae ). They were described in two series of articles, containing respectively ten and six papers. Type specimens should be located in MG and RB respectively, but only one of the six species described in the first series is in fact represented in MG by a type specimen. Type specimens of all four species described in the second series of papers are, on the other hand, present at RB. Details of the locations of all type specimens are provided, and possible reasons for the non‐existence of types at MG discussed.
