Notes:
Mattapha
et al.
(2019b)
designated the
lectotype
of
Millettia leucantha
Kurz
, but several errors need to be corrected. First, the barcodes of the
lectotype
(“K000845723”) and a isolectotype (“K000845724”) should be corrected into K000848723 and K000848724, respectively. Second, the specimen K000848722 (“K000845722”) should be excluded from the list of isolectotypes, because it was collected by N. Wallich from Prome. Additionally,
Mattapha
et al.
(2019b)
designated the specimen (K000848788) as the
lectotype
of
Millettia latifolia
Dunn
, which was collected on
30 March 1911
. We found that several fruiting specimens were also labeled with the same number “1733” by the same collector
A. F. G. Kerr
, but they were collected on
11 May 1911
(BM000997285) or
21 May 1911
(E00275440, K000848789). Thus, these fruiting specimens should be regarded as the remaining
syntypes
of
Millettia latifolia
Dunn
other than isolectotypes.
Moreover, the record of this species from
China
by
Wei & Pedley (2010)
is based on the finding by
Qian (2001)
, who first recorded
Millettia pendula
Benth.
(an illegitimate, superfluous name of
Millettia leucantha
Kurz
) in
China
based on two gartherings collected from
Yunnan province
(
Y. Y. Qian 2518
,
2243
). However, examination of the two gartherings (PE00461514, PE 00461515) shows that both are misidentification of
Imbralyx leptobotrys
(Dunn)
Z.Q. Song. Any other specimens of
Imbralyx leucanthus
was not found from
China
, thus the record of the species should be excluded from the flora of
China
.
