Wight (1848) collected and described the species E. gardneriana from western slopes of Sispara, Nilgiri and named the species in the honor of Mr. Gardner of Ceylon (who accompanied him and collected the first flowering specimen). According to Stafleu and Cowan (1988) type specimens of Wight is available at K and further materials at A, ADB and B. Authors found three specimens available in K two with HRWP label (Herb. R. Wight. Prop) annotated by Wight (K000756502, K000756503) and one by Gardner (K000756501), who collected the specimen while accompanying Wight while collecting the specimen. Moreover, Noltie (2005) stated the same in his work “ Botany of Robert Wight”. Hence, the specimen with barcode no. K000756502 is designated here as lectotype.
