.
Taxonomic notes

).
Nomenclatural notes
:—
Brown (1904a: 211)
did not cite any specimens in the protologue of the name
K. prasina
, and there is no indication that
Brown (1904a: 211)
used only
N.E. Brown s.n
., barcode K000232903, when publishing the name (Turland
et al
. 2028: Art. 9.1(
b
)). The name therefore does not have a
holotype
, despite
Fernandes (1983: 57)
and
Smith (2020a: 273)
regarding the Herb. K-held specimen,
N.E. Brown s.n
., with barcode K000232903, as the
holotype
. This is in fact a
lectotype
. The correction is made here.
The material was sent to Herb. K by Mr J. McClunie [possibly McCl
o
unie] on an unknown date (see
K. dyeri
, the next entry).
