| Holotype
| A single specimen designated as the name-bearing type of a species when it
| was established. In simple terms, the original specimen of a species.
| Usually abbreviated to 'type'.
|
| A lectotype is a biological specimen or illustration later selected
(usually
| from among the isotype(s), syntype(s), or paratype(s)) to serve as
| definitive type example of a species or subspecies when the original
author
| of the name did not designate a holotype.

| hello everyone!
|
| I`m reading the book Phalaenopsis a monograph by Eric A. Christenson. I
| would like to know what is an holotype!
| For every Phal listed in the book, it`s written lectotype or holotype L
| or
| C or SCHLE etc..
|
| What is it?
|
| Thanks
