Strobilanthes aborensis Dunn (1920: 208) View in CoL . Holotype: INDIA. Arunachal Pradesh, I. H. Burkill 35757 (K!, isotype CAL!).

Anderson cited collections by Masters and Simons as types of Strobilanthes mastersii, At CAL View in CoL there are three syntypes, all annotated by Anderson, two collected by Masters and one by Simons. This last is the best collection and the only one with well-developed leaves and so is here selected as the lectotype.

Strobilanthes mastersii is most abundant in China being well-known from SE Tibet (Xixang) and Yunnan ( Hu et al, 2011) but the earliest collections are from India. Although no precise localities for this species are known from India, it is most likely to occur in Arunachal Pradesh near the border with Tibet.
