Summary Charles Gaudichaud‐Beaupré described the genus Charpentiera in the form of two species, C. ovata and C. obovata , but did not indicate which of the species should serve as type. Horace Mann was the first to indicate the lectotype of the genus when he reduced C. obovata to synonymy. The reference to the lectotype in the Index Nominum Genericorum should therefore be Mann, Proc. Amer. Acad. Arts 7: 200. 1866, rather than Schinz (in Engler et Prantl, Nat. Pflanzenfamilien 3 (1.a): 101 Aug. 1893) as it is at present.
