Heterostemma wallichii Wight (1834: 42) View in CoL [Dec 1834]

TYPE:— Nepal, Sheopore, Herb. R. Wight. Prop., Wallich Asclep. no. 154 [=Wall. Cat. 8179] (lectotype K [K000895033], here designated, isotypes CAL [ CAL 17966] (as Wall. Cat. 8179), E [E00179593], K (as Wall. Cat. 8179), [K000974159, K000974158] and four more duplicates)

= Heterostemma yunnanense W.T.Wang nom . nud. (from specimen KUN0267903)

Notes: —Wight (1832) mentioned ‘Wall. Asclep. n. 154 (absque nom.)—Sheopore; Wallich’ as the materials he based H. wallichii upon. Noltie (2006) clarified the type of H. wallichii as ‘Sheopore [ Nepal], Wallich, Wall. Asclep. 154 [= Wall. Cat. 8179]. Isotype at E annotated with the locality Sheopore and ‘Wall.Ascl. n. 154’. Specimen [K000895033] belonged to Wight’s personal working herbarium and is a well-preserved specimen with an attached description of the species and a sketch of a dissected flower in Wight’s hand. It is therefore selected as lectotype of H. wallichii .
