( Fig. 4 ). Lectotype (designated here):— INDIA . Maharashtra : Panchgani village and tableland, Nov. 1925 , C . McCann s. n. [Acc. 89322 ( BLAT !)]. Note :— Blatter & McCann (1927) described two species, viz. D. panchganiense and D. mccannii based on collections of McCann (in the year 1925) from Panchgani (Satara, Maharashtra ). Bor (1960) stated that ‘‘the type of D. mccannii is not in the Blatter Herbarium, St. Xavier’s College, Bombay , and there is no material of the species at Kew”. According to Deshpande (1984) type of D. mccannii and D. panchganiense was housed at BLAT. Attempts were made to locate the type specimens at BLAT, we found two sheets of D. mccannii (Acc. 89321) and D. panchganiense (Acc. 89322) made by McCann, and can serve as an original material. Both the specimens are selected here as lectotypes following Art. 9.3 of ICN.
