Justicia gangetica
Linnaeus
,
Centuria II Plantarum
: 3. 1756
.
"Habitat in India." RCN: 128.
Lectotype
(Malik & Ghafoor in Nasir & Ali,
Fl. Pakistan
188: 68. 1988): Herb. Linn. No. 28.27 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Asystasia gangetica
(L.) T. Anderson
(
Acanthaceae
).
Note:
Heine (in
Aubreville
,
Fl. Gabon
13: 135. 1966) indicated unspecified material in LINN as the
holotype
. However, he did not distinguish between sheets 28.27 and 28.28 (LINN), not part of a single gathering, so this is not an effective typification.
