scientific name

Clinacanthus spirei Benoist (1936: 131)
status

 

Clinacanthus spirei Benoist (1936: 131) View in CoL . Type:— LAOS. Phon Thane, no date, Spire s.n. (P, not seen).

Benoist (1935, 1936) separated this species from C. burmanni (= C. nutans ) on the basis of having broadly lanceolate (versus linear) bracteoles. We have not seen the Spire type specimen but Benoist’s description is otherwise close to C. nutans . The type specimen in Paris is not on the online herbarium catalogue of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle or JSTOR Global Plants (https://plants.jstor.org/).
