03CA0139FF9EFF9BFF79749EFEA92328.taxon	discussion	Notes: — During the preparation of the account of Thai Ampelocissus the first author came across one specimen identified by the late Prof. Li as A. thailandensis and realised that no description of this species had been published. The specimen examined showed similarities with Ampelocissus divaricata (Wall. ex M. A. Lawson) Planch., but was most similar to the Indian species A. araneosa. It differs from A. divaricata because of the presence of a sparse arachnoid indumentum on the abaxial side of the leaflets (as opposed to a dense arachnoid indumentum) and the presence of hairs on the ovary. This specimen, although very similar to the description of A. araneosa, has some differences. Typically, A. araneosa specimens have the abaxial side of the leaflets with an uniform brown dense arachnoid indumentum and leaflets 7 – 13 cm long; whilst the Thai specimen has the abaxial side of the leaflets sparsely hairy with pale arachnoid hairs and puberulent hairs mostly concentrated on the veins and leaflets 2.5 – 9 cm long. Although we believe that these morphological differences could warrant subspecies status, until more specimens are collected in Thailand and the morphological characters are suitably compared, we have kept this material conspecific to A. araneosa. In addition, this is the first record of A. araneosa outside India and therefore the first and only one for Thailand. In the protologue for Cissus araneosa Dalzell (1861) mentions that this is a rare plant “ on the highest Ghauts west of Jooneer ” [Maharashtra]. Dalzell cites no specimens and there appear to be no Dalzell specimens suitable for lectotypification, Cooke (1903: 256) commented “ I have seen no specimens from the Bombay Presidency, those in herb Kew being from the Pulney hills ex herb. Wight ”. With no original material available, a neotype needs to be selected, and even though Wight’s specimens were collected 1000 km south of the type locality, these are the most suitable herbarium specimens available. There are two duplicate specimens in Wight’s herbarium at K., and we have selected as the neotype the specimen from the Hooker Herbarium (barcode K 000701009) annotated in pencil on the Wight Herbarium distribution label ‘ Vitis araneosus Dalz.? ’, perhaps by Lawson, as it is a better representative of the species as described by Dalzell. Furthermore, this specimen was later determined as Ampelocissus araneosa Planch. by Gamble in 1919.	en	Trias-Blasi, Anna, Watson, Mark F., Chayamarit, Kongkanda, Parnell, John A. N.

03CA0139FF9BFF99FF7971B7FA81277C.taxon	discussion	Notes: — The two Thai specimens, both collected by Kerr from Doi Chiengdao on the same day in June 1921, were labelled as Ampelocissus barbata (Wall.) Planch. but possess morphological characters atypical of that species. In these specimens the inflorescence is an umbellate cyme and the indumentum lacks the dark erect glandular hairs typically found in A. barbata. The first author noticed that these Thai specimens showed similarities to A. rugosa, but also showed some character differences. According to the original description, A. rugosa has simple broad-cordate leaves often trilobed (Roxburgh & Wallich, 1824), and a recent description by Shetty & Singh (2000) indicates that A. rugosa has simple broad-ovate to suborbicular leaves often shallowly 3 – 7 - lobate. The Thai specimens examined have a cordate leaf-blade with no lobes. In addition, in Shetty & Singh (2000) the A. rugosa description states that the ovary is glabrous, while the Thai specimens have a hairy ovary. No indication regarding the ovary indumentum is given in any of the other descriptions perhaps because it is really difficult to see this character when the flower is wet. The first author believes, however, that given the variability in other species in this genus that this variation is not sufficient to taxonomically separate out Thai material from other A. rugosa. As only two aberrant collections from the same locality were found, additional Thai specimens are required to confirm whether these specimens are A. rugosa or a new taxon. However, at present we treat these specimens as forming the first record of A. rugosa in Thailand. Wallich’s description (Roxburgh & Wallich, 1824: 480) of Vitis rugosa states that this plant is “ A native of all the mountain and other forests in Nipal ”, and this corresponds to entry number 5994 in Wallich’s Catalogue of the East India Company Herbarium (Wallich 1828: 205). Although Wallich lists eight collections under Wall. Cat. 5994, only 5994. A is from Nepal (‘ Napaliae 1821 ’) — collected by Wallich himself — and so the lectotype should be chosen from the duplicates distributed under 5994. A. Wallich would have had all the material, later distributed un-mounted under this number, available to him at the time he wrote the species description and so any of the many duplicates (perhaps up to 30) would be suitable for designation as the lectotype. Here we select the specimen in the East India Company Herbarium ‘ top set’ as the lectotype (K 001122747, K-W) as it is has the best quality of plant material. In the protologue for Vitis nervosa (Lawson, 1875) only one herbarium collection was mentioned: ‘ Sikkim, Himalaya, alt 4 – 5000 ft., J. D. H [ooker]. ’. Two specimens matching this description have been found at K, and we have selected as the lectotype the specimen which is a better representative of the species as described by Lawson.	en	Trias-Blasi, Anna, Watson, Mark F., Chayamarit, Kongkanda, Parnell, John A.
