Indopiptadenia oudhensis (Brandis) Brenan, Kew Bull. 1955: 179 . 1955 ( Fig. 1 ).

Basionym: Piptadenia oudhensis Brandis, For. Fl. N. W. & C. India 168. 1874.

Lectotype (designated here):— India: Ind. Or., Oudh (‘ Oude’), R. Thompson 135 (communicated by Dr. Stewart July 1871) ( K, K000756997 image!) ; Isolectotype (HBG, HBG520694 image!).

Notes:— Brandis (1874) first published the name Piptadenia oudhensis based on two specimens, one at K (K000627974) and another at HBG (HBG520694!) without specifying any one of them as holotype. The best and most complete specimen with leaves, flowers and pods (K000756997) is designated here as the lectotype as it agrees well with the protologue.
