REMARKS Smith (1911) described Anaphalis travancorica on the basis of specimens collected from Travancore by two authors namely, A. Meebold 13328 and Bourdillon 36 . We have traced four herbarium specimens from different herbaria, three at CAL (CAL0000016858, CAL0000016859, CAL0000016860) and one at K (K000899053). Of these, the better one from CAL with barcode number CAL0000016858 is designated here as the lectotype of A. travancorica .
