REMARKS

Roxburgh (1814) published the name G. erecta which does not constitute valid publication under Art. 38.2 Ex. 1 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants ( Turland et al. 2018) because this lacked description or diagnosis or reference to a description or diagnosis, but was subsequently validated( Roxburgh 1832). Forman (1997) noted that Roxburgh specimens under this name are deposited at BR and OXF. We traced two specimens(BR0000021496585,BR0000021496608) at BR and one specimen (OXF0006375) at OXF. Further, we could trace out one more collection(K001115251) at Kew which was not cited by Forman (1997). So, we have lectotypified the name with Oxford specimen (OXF00006375) which bears the name G. erecta on the label with Roxburgh’s own handwriting and also annotation of L.L. Forman as ‘possible lectotype of glechoma erecta Buch. -Ham. ex Roxb.’.
