NOTES

Lecomte (1928a: 104) cited Poilane 13111 as the only original material. Nguyen (1996: 65) stated that Poilane 13111 (R) is the holotype of this species, however, no relevant collections were found at R, and this was presumably a typographical error (the correct code being P). Six sheets of Poilane 13111 have been located at NY, P and VNM. Among them, P00721465 bears an original label with information that matches the protologue and is well preserved. It is therefore designated here as the lectotype.
