Abstract

Hemicyclia porteri Gamble, the basionym of Drypetes porteri (Gamble) Pax & K. Hoffm. was lectotypified three times by different authors differently. This paper unambiguously elucidates the precise designation of lectotype for the name, and also emphasizes the need of exerting utmost care while designating a lectotype.
