Wight (K barcode K001116287!). Fig. 4 . Residual syntypes :—GZU barcode GZU000249420!; K barcode K001116288 ! Notes : Nees (1832) described the species based on three syntype gatherings distributed by Wallich (“Wall. Cat. n. 2509 h [‘ Barleria cristata ? Herb. Wight’], and i [‘ Barleria pungens ? Herb. Heyn. ’]”) and Wight (“Herb. propr. n. 14”), but did not specify one of these as the type. The specimen number 14 distributed by Wight, according to Wight & Arnott (1934: 4) , was actually a species of Ranunculus , prompting Nees (1847: 224) to later indicate this as “Wight h. propr. n. 1955”. Shendage & Yadav (2010: 105) designated a specimen indicated as ‘Herb. Prop., Wight s.n. ’ from Madras Herbarium (MH) as lectotype . Although this specimen was collected by Wight, there is no indication that it bears the number 14 or 1955. So, it cannot be considered original material of Nees, and hence their attempted lectotypification cannot be followed. We could find three specimens , one at GZU (GZU000249420) from Nees Herbarium that bears the label ‘ 2509/h B. cristata ? Hb. Wight. ’ and two specimens on a single sheet at K, K001116287 and K001116288 with label 2509h and 2509i , respectively. Here, we choose one of the specimens from K (K001116287) as a lectotype .
