An annotated list of the original material of 183 Orchidaceae species of the Bennett’s collection at the Forestry herbarium of the University Agraria La Molina is presented. The annotated list includes collection data, information on locations of the type material in other herbaria and the currently accepted name for each species.

Bennett kept a diverse living orchid collection in Lima. He gathered plants from various collectors (orchid hobbyists and botanists), and from his own field trips. Bennett asked different artists to prepare black and white line drawings, as well as color drawings from his living specimens. By 2009, he had amassed around 1600 orchid illustrations. He also had his own personal collection ]]>

Bennett was co-author of various orchid publications mainly based on specimens from his own collection. Starting in 1989, ]]>
drawings and descriptions of more than 900 Peruvian species; including 259 new ones. The most remarkable publications were the four volumes of his self- published book Icones
Orchidacearum Peruviarum that he co-authored with Eric A. Christenson (1956- 2011).
According to Bennett’s publications, many herbarium specimens (including types) from which he ]]>

In 2001, Bennett transferred all his collection to the forestry herbarium of the University Agraria La Molina - MOL. This set comprises 1677 herbarium specimens, and 1209 specimens preserved in spirit. However, the few botanists that have checked the Bennett collection at MOL could not confirm that there were many type specimens there (Roque & León 2007). Some of the ]]>
The importance of type specimens as permanent vouchers for the application of botanical names is completely recognized today, and the numerous initiatives of herbaria to make type specimens information available on the Internet underline the importance of types. Curatorial work of the Bennett collection at MOL was started in the middle of 2010. Among ]]>

Bennett used an Accession Book and, later, a digital file or files (he annotated many labels: “see ]]>

Bennett also used this system of “suffixes” to label two or more plants of a species gathered in a given time or when another collector provided him with more than one plant of a species; for instance, the type material of Stenia jarae D.E. Benn. consists of ]]>

Alphabetical list of type specimens and other original material. In the Bennett collection at MOL, there are original material of 183 orchid species described based on Bennett’s specimens (species included here are those published until August 2013 by different authors besides David Bennett and co-authors). The total number of type specimens in the Bennett Collection is 239; of which 85 are holotypes, 35 ]]>

Bennett 6745, the paratype of S. christensonii was not found at USM. However, Bennett 6745-2 -a clone of the paratype- was found in the Bennett collection at MOL; it was prepared on September 13, 1994. This specimen does not have locality data; only an annotation that indicates that it is a “Plant of Edwards”.

E Jara sub Bennett 4711-3found in the Bennett collection at MOL has an annotation of Bennett that indicates that it is the holotype. The specimen was prepared on December 29, 1990.
Bennett 4711-2 (paratype?), in the Bennett collection at MOL, was collected at: 900 m of elevation, in “las alturas de Cayumba” (Leoncio Prado) and was prepared on October 10, 1990. On the label of this specimen David Bennett wrote: “sp. nov”.

Three specimens of Bennett 5684 with two different suffixes were found in the Bennett collection at MOL: Bennett 5684-1 in spirit and two pressed specimens of Bennett 5684-2 prepared on different dates: April 21, 1993 and April 14, 1994. Bennett 5684-2 was cited as the illustration voucher in the original publication (Fig. 14, page 47).

The holotype was not found at NY (T. Zanoni, pers. comm.) nor the isotype at USM. However, Bennett 6534 in spirit, consisting of a dissected flower that agrees with the illustration of the original publication, was found in the Bennett collection at MOL. The illustration was prepared on October 12, 1994; probably on the date when the specimen in spirit was prepared. As there is no holotype, a lectotype is designated here (ICN. Art. 9.2).

Validation of new combinations
Cyrtochilum miradorense (D.E.Benn. & Christenson) Dalström ex D. Trujillo., comb. nov.
The combination Cyrtochilum miradorense was invalidly proposed by Dalström (2002) because he did not provide the complete basionym reference (contrary to ICBN, Art 33.3). The combination is validated here.
