). (
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.
