Nothopegia travancorica
Bedd ex Hook. f. (1876: 40)
Type
citation:—
“
Western Peninsula
;
Travancor
,
Beddome
.”
Type:—
INDIA
. Travancore,
s.d.
,
Beddome 249
(
lectotype
K
000695607!, designated here (or perhaps
holotype
))
Notes:—
Nothopegia travancorica
was described by Beddome based on his collections from Travancore and validly published by
J
. D.
Hooker (1876)
. Only
one specimen
of this species was traced out at
K
(
K
000695607!), but the possibility that the author used additional specimens cannot be omitted. It should be realized that some of the material used by the author in describing the taxon may be still unsorted or may not even have survived. It can be considered that Hooker used only this element (sensu
ICN
Art. 9.1 Note 1) but because of the history of Beddomes’ herbarium, another part of his materials is also supposed to be at other herbaria, it is uncertain as to whether any other element may have been used and dispersed afterwards, hence we choose to designate
K
000695607! as the
lectotype
(or perhaps
holotype
).
