Summary José Jerónimo Triana was one of the most important collectors in 19th Century Colombia. The history of his collection and its numbering after his active period of collecting are traced. He employed a dual numbering system and prepared two separate catalogues for his collection. The set now at the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional, Bogotá (COL) is numbered systematically, and the sets deposited in European herbaria, particularly the British Museum (Natural History) (BM), are numbered serially from 1 to 4490. Consequently many important cited duplicates and types of Triana's collections at COL are not indicated as such; 26 previously unrecognized type collections of Triana Rubiaceae at COL are presented. Some collections in the Triana herbarium may actually be Linden duplicates.
