FONt, F. (2014). A revision of Opuntia series Armatae K. Schum. (Opuntia ser. Elatae Britton &
Rose) (Cactaceae-Opuntioideae). In: Hunt, D. (ed.). Further Studies in the Opuntioideae. Succulent
Plant Research 8: 51–94.

After the publication of my Revision of the series Armatae I found a few typing errors and a map that
needs updating. these do not seriously affect the content of the paper, but I realise that analysis of the
“specimens examined” is made difficult by the lack an overall list of those cited. In this postscript I
admit I also omitted to associate the habitat photographs with the herbarium voucher specimens. I have
tried to remedy these omissions with the following lists of the exsiccatae indexed by collectors and
additional data for the captions to the photographs in the paper.

South America. In: Hunt, D. (ed.). Further Studies in the Opuntioideae. Succulent Plant Research 8:
201–223. Accidentally omitted on page 207, before O. monacantha was the following species:

• Distinguished from O. monacantha by Leuenberger l.c. 423, 435 by its thick, almost orbicular brseg and
orange fl. It is also distinguished by its purple fruit pulp (Font 2014/SPR 8: 60).
