03CE10621D708E73A331AC5DFCD3F875.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE MATERIAL. — Bangladesh • Sylhet (‘ Silhet’); s. d.; Roxburgh s. n.; lectotype (designated here): CAL [Roxburgh Icones Number 2428, Volume / Folder 16, digital image!]. https: // archive. bsi. gov. in / botanical-details? link = 525 D 9244 C 85316 CY LECTOTYPIFICATION REMARKS Ixora acuminata was first mentioned by Roxburgh (1814) in Hortus Bengalensis as a nomen nudum. Later, it was validated in Flora Indica (Roxburgh 1820), along with additional notes by Wallich. In the protologue, it is indicated that the plant is native to Sylhet (‘ Silhet’), but there is no collection by Roxburgh from Sylhet (‘ Silhet’) available. In his numerical list, Wallich (1828) had written ‘ 6126. I. acuminata Roxb. ’ with two materials that is, ‘ A. FD & HB and B. HBC [Hortus Botanicus Calcuttensis] ’. Husain & Paul (1989) cited 6126 A and 6126 B at CAL as type. Since the numerical list was published later than the publication of the species, this cannot be considered for lectotypification. While searching extensively for Roxburgh’s specimens (Sealy 1956), we found a botanical illustration of I. acuminata with Volume / Folder 16, Roxburgh Icones number 2428 at CAL. So, in the absence of herbarium specimens associated with this name, here we designated Roxburgh’s illustration with Icones number 2428 as the lectotype as per the Shenzhen code Article 9.12 (Turland et al. 2018).	en	Harishma, K.

03CE10621D708E73A196ABDFFBA5F956.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE MATERIAL. — – India • South Andamans; s. d.; S. Kurz s. n.; Lectotype (designated here): K [K 000031389 digital image!]; isolectotype: K [K 000031388 digital image!]. LECTOTYPIFICATION REMARKS Ixora brunnescens Kurz was originally described by Kurz (1872) who cited specimen from Andamans. Husain & Paul (1989) indicated a specimen at CAL from Katchall Island in Nicobar Islands collected by Kurz in February 1875 as the type. This specimen, collected three years after the publication of the species, cannot be considered as a type. While searching for the relevant specimens, we could locate five sheets at CAL, three from Narcondam, Andaman with vegetative parts only [CAL 0000069766!, CAL 0000069767!, CAL 0000069768!], and two at K from south Andaman [K 000031388, K 000031389]. The specimen housed at K [K 000031389] with fruits is selected here as the lectotype, while the rest as isolectotypes.	en	Harishma, K. H., Nampy, Santhosh (2025): Lectotypifications in Ixora L.

03CE10621D708E73A192A8F0FB60FC29.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE MATERIAL. — Sri Lanka • (‘ Zeylon’); up to 3000 ft; s. d.; Thwaites CP 748; lectotype (designated here): CAL [CAL 0000016269!]); isolectotype: CAL [CAL 0000016270!]. LECTOTYPIFICATION REMARKS Hooker (1882) described I. thwaitesii and cited ‘ I. acuminata Thw. Enum. 155, excl. var β, not of Roxb. Thwaites in Enumeratio Plantarum Zeylaniae (p. 155. 1859 [Thwaites 1859: 155]) ’ add the specimen CP 748 under it. Husain & Paul (1989) indicated the specimen (Thwaites CP 748) at CAL as the type. There are two sheets at CAL with the same collection number (CAL 0000016269!, CAL 0000016270!). There are five more sheets of CP 748 at various herbaria (one each at BR (BR 0000005316953), K (K 000031363), LE (LE 00017493) and two in P (P 03941811 and P 03941812). The sheet CAL 0000016269 is well preserved with similar writing in the protologue as ‘ Zeylon, not very common upto an elevation of 3000 feet’ is selected here as the lectotype and the other specimens as isolectotypes.	en	Harishma, K.

03CE10621D708E76A197AF3EFDBBF872.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE MATERIAL. — Sri Lanka • ‘ Zeylon’, Central Province; up to 7000 ft; s. d.; Thwaites CP 448; lectotype (designated here): CAL [CAL 0000069728!]; isolectotype: CAL [CAL 0000069729!]. LECTOTYPIFICATION REMARKS Thwaites (1859) described Ixora calycina and cited CP 448 along with ‘ Hab. Central Province, up to an elevation of 7000 feet’. Husain & Paul (1989), mentioned the specimen at CAL as the type. But there are two sheets available with the same collection number, CP 448 (CAL 0000069728, CAL 0000069729). Hence lectotypification is needed as Husain & Paul (1989) did not specify which of the two duplicates available in CAL is the lectotype. There are 12 more sheets with the same collection number in different herbaria: two at K in a single sheet (K 000031359, K 000031360), five at P (P 03987727, P 00836689, P 00836690, P 00836691, P 00836692), one each at BR (BR 0000005317400), FR (FR 0031479), GH (GH 00096724), LE (LE 00017471), MH (MH 00002969), NYBG (NY 00131979) and TCD (TCD 0018033). The sheet CAL 0000069728, which has the same location details as in the protologue is chosen here as the lectotype, and the rest as isolectotypes.	en	Harishma, K.
