NOTES

Lecomte (1930: 959) cited Poilane collection from “ Annam: prov. de Thanh-hoa” as the original material. Among the collections made by Poilane in Thanh Hoa, two sheets of Poilane 1766 have matching local name (Cay Thi Rung and Muong) and morphology. Here we designated the best preserved sheet, P00721581, as the lectotype.
