| Abstract | Background - Seven species of Pedicularis (P. batangensis, P. birostris, P. goniantha, P. microphyton, princeps, P. rhynchodonta and P. tatsienensis) described by Bureau & Franchet are based on collections made by Prince Henri d'Orleans in 1890. Because these specimens lack collection numbers Bureau & Franchet merely described their provenance in the protologue, which has created much subsequent difficulty for authors seeking to access the types. Material and Methods - Type materials conserved at P were seen and accessed online through high quality digital photographs. Other materials conserved at CDBI, F, GH, KUN NY, PE, and US were also examined. Key results - The lectotypes for seven names are designated. In addition, P przewalskii var. hirsuta H.L.Li is newly reduced to synonym of P przewalskii subsp. microphyton (equivalent to P microphyton), and P rhynchodonta f. maxima is also lectotypified herein. |
